It’s safe to say Sunday’s game between the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers delivered.
On Wednesday morning, CBS Sports and Nickelodeon revealed the ratings for the Cowboys-49ers game. It turns out this showdown averaged 41.496 million viewers across both networks.
CBS also announced that Sunday’s game peaked with more than 50 million viewers tuning in for the end of the game. That makes it the most-watched game on Wild Card Weekend in seven years. Additionally, the ratings for this slot are up 35 percent from last year.
Paramount+ had a productive Sunday as well, registering its most-streamed non-Super Bowl weekend ever.
Although the ratings for the Cowboys-49ers game were magnificent, not too many people were surprised by this news.
“No one should be surprised,” one person said in response to the ratings.

“You put the Cowboys and 49ers on a Sunday afternoon, it’s going to rate well. 50 million people watched the end of that game,” another said. “Just insane. And the ratings will only get better with each passing round. No doubt about that. The NFL remains the best.”

Clearly, the NFL remains king.
The ratings for this weekend’s CBS slot should be excellent as well, as the Bills and Chiefs will square off on Sunday night.
