For Sunday night football on NBC, total viewers increased by 6 percent, while Thursday night football on Fox saw a moderate 3 percent bump in viewership.

The study found that viewership for the division championships increased by 28 percent year-over-year. The NFC Championship in 2018 brought in about 42 million viewers, while the 2019 AFC Championship scored big, bringing in over 54 million TV viewers.
