STAMFORD, Conn. - Jan. 23, 2023 - NBC Sports' presentation of the Kansas City Chiefs' 27-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars last weekend is the most watched Saturday afternoon NFL Divisional Playoff game since at least 2015, averaging a Total Audience Delivery of 34.1 million viewers across NBC TV, Peacock, NBC Sports Digital, and NFL Digital platforms.

"What an exciting way to cap our coverage of the 2022 NFL season, with star quarterbacks in a one-score game for a berth in the AFC Championship Game," said Pete Bevacqua, Chairman, NBC Sports. "We thank our best-in-class team for their creative effort and tireless work throughout the season, and look forward to watching the culmination of an exciting postseason."

Highlighted by Patrick Mahomes and Trevor Lawrence combining for nearly 450 yards of offense and three touchdowns, the Jaguars-Chiefs audience peaked in the game's final minutes at 37.3 million viewers on NBC from 7:15-7:34 p.m. ET.
