The Kansas City Chiefs continue to be must-watch television as they look to become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls. Their divisional round victory against the Houston Texans on Saturday was broadcast on ESPN, and it set some impressive viewership records for the network.
According to ESPN PR, the divisional round game was ESPN's most watched NFL game in history––dating back to 1987––amassing a total of 32.7 million viewers. That figure could rise and surpass 33 million once Nielsen reports the final audience, accounting for viewers on ESPN, ABC and ESPN+.
