Three of the telecasts topped 30 million viewers, led by the 33.21 million for Fox\u2019s Sunday telecast of the New York Giants\u2019 win over the Minnesota Vikings. That contest, however, was off by about 20 percent from the same window last year, when 41.5 million people watched the San Francisco 49ers beat the Dallas Cowboys \u2014\u00a0the biggest audience for a wild-card game since 2015.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    ABC and ESPN\u2019s simulcast of this year\u2019s Cowboys game, a 31-14 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night, drew 31.2 million people (including ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes). It was the second largest audience for the round and the biggest gainer of the six gains, growing by almost 36 percent over last year. CBS\u2019 early Sunday matchup (Buffalo vs. Miami) had 30.87 million viewers and grew by about 2 percent over the same broadcast window a year ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Fox\u2019s Saturday afternoon game (San Francisco-Seattle, 27.46 million viewers) was within 1 percent of the same window in 2022, while NBC\u2019s two primetime matchups (Jacksonville-L.A. Chargers, 20.61 million, and Cincinnati-Baltimore, 26.87 million) were down by 22 percent and 7 percent year to year. NBC noted, however, that its two games marked the first time any broadcaster had averaged 20 million viewers on consecutive nights in two years \u2014 the last time NBC had Saturday and Sunday night wild-card games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The small decline for the wild-card round mirrors that of the regular season, where NFL games averaged 16.7 million viewers (including streaming) \u2014 a 2 percent decline that\u2019s attributable largely to the move of <em>Thursday Night Football<\/em> from Fox and the NFL Network to Amazon\u2019s Prime Video. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    CBS and Fox\u2019s afternoon windows and NBC\u2019s <em>Sunday Night Football<\/em> were all up a bit. ESPN and ABC\u2019s <em>Monday Night Football<\/em> fell about 5 percent, excluding the week 17 matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals that was canceled following the Bills\u2019 Damar Hamlin suffering cardiac arrest on the field. The audience to that point suggests it would have been the most watched <em>MNF<\/em> game of the season and pulled the season about even with last year.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
