Thrilling Chiefs-Bills AFC Championship game smashes TV records Sunday's AFC championship clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills was the most watched conference title game on record, according to The Athletic.
Excluding Super Bowls, the Chiefs-Bills showdown ranks as the second most-watched NFL game of all time behind the NFC title game between the Vikings and Saints in 2009-10.
The Minnesota-New Orleans game averaged 57.9 million watchers as fans witnessed the Saints win their first-ever NFC title in overtime against a Vikings team led by soon-to-be-retired quarterback Brett Favre.
Furthermore, it topped the ratings for the NFC championship game starring the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders, which averaged 44.2 million viewers, per The Athletic's source.
The Chiefs routed the Bills 32-29 to punch a ticket to the Super Bowl in New Orleans.
