Kansas City hasn't gone unnoticed in their quest for a three-peat either. Whether that's due to love, loathing or fear , we'll never know. One thing that's for certain, however, is that Kansas City is dominating the rest of the NFL in terms of viewership.
Out of the top five viewed NFL games during the '24 season, Kansas City has played in four of them, holding the top three spots.

The report also includes that the game was "the fourth most-watched game in a national broadcast window dating back to at least 1988, and it is among the 10 most-watched NFL regular season games in any window, excluding Thanksgiving matchups."
While the outcome of the game might've been a letdown for Kansas City fans, the amount of people tuning in to watch the game certainly didn't disappoint. With both teams looking like serious AFC title contenders, fans will have to wait and see if the two juggernauts meet again in early 2025.
