The league's Divisional round of the playoffs averaged roughly 33 million viewers across four games, which was up 2% over last year. It was the most watched divisional round in three years.

The weekend kicked off on Saturday with the San Francisco 49ers beating the Minnesota Vikings 27 to 10. Despite the lopsided final score, it still brought in 29.3 million viewers for NBC. That's roughly on par with NBC's divisional game last year.

On Saturday night, the Tennessee Titans pulled off a stunning upset over the best team in the NFL, the Baltimore Ravens, 28 to 12. The game averaged 29.4 million viewers for CBS. The network did not have a comparable game last year.

The back-and-forth game was watched by 35.4 million viewers on CBS. That viewership represented a 21% jump for the network from its game a year ago.
