CBS Sports announced Wednesday its television ratings from the 49ers' matchup with the Cowboys on Super Wild Card Weekend, and the pair of marquee franchises delivered a massive television audience. Nearly 41.5 million tuned in for Dallas vs. San Francisco on both CBS and Nickelodeon, making it the most watched wild-card game in seven years, per CBS. Sunday's rating is up from last year's game in that spot by 35%.
The NFC battle helped continue an impressive trend for the NFL this year, which saw ratings increase throughout the year across its partner networks. Nine of the top 10 telecasts in the country were NFL games, with the exception being the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. 75 of the top 100 telecasts were NFL games.
