Chiefs vs. Bills Could Make AFC Championship Game History Sunday
Yesterday at 02:54 PM
When Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs meet Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills it's always a show, and Sunday's AFC Championship should be no different.
In the fourth sequel of the best playoff rivalry this side of the Patriots and the Colts, Kansas City can move one step closer to accomplishing something no NFL team has ever done: win three straight Super Bowls.
While Buffalo is hoping to finally break through and reach its first big game since the Jim Kelly era in the early 90s.
Regardless of the outcome, it's looking like this weekend's game has the chance to set viewership records across the board.
Last year's AFC title game between the Chiefs and Ravens made history of its own with 55.5 million viewers and that kicked off in the earlier, typically lesser-watched 3 PM ET window.
And even though there have yet to be any record-breaking audiences so far in this postseason, the buildup to Sunday's primetime matchup has been all the talk in the NFL world.
2023's divisional round game in Buffalo captured a record-setting 50.4 million viewers, which is pretty close to the AFCCG record. And when the Chiefs and Bills squared off earlier in the regular season they drew over 31 million viewers on CBS — a massive number for a non-Thanksgiving game.
We'll see where this latest chapter ranks among the most-watched conference championship games in NFL history. Maybe in the 60 million-range?
