Smallest NFL markets:

1) Green Bay
2) Buffalo
3) New Orleans
4) Jacksonville
5) Las Vegas
6) Cincinnati
7) Kansas City
8) Baltimore
9) Pittsburgh
10) Nashville
11) Indianapolis
12) Charlotte
13) Cleveland
14) Miami
15) Denver
16) Minneapolis
17) Detroit
18) Seattle
19) Tampa
20) Phoenix
21) San Fran
22) DC
23) Boston
24) Atlanta
25) Houston
26) Dallas
27) Philly
28) Chicago
29/30) Los Angeles
31/32) New York

Yeah, the whole Peacock thing was definitely a mistake.
Dolphins-Chiefs Playoff Game on Peacock Sets Streaming Record With Average of 23 Million Viewers

Saturday night's AFC wild-card playoff game between the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs on Peacock set a record for the most-watched event on a streaming service.

According to Nielsen, the Chiefs' 26-7 victory in frigid temperatures averaged 23 million viewers on Peacock, NFL+ and on NBC affiliates in Kansas City and Miami. Nielsen also reported Sunday night that the game had a total reach of 27.6 million.

Fans had to pay for a Peacock subscription, which starts at $5.99, to watch the game, making it the NFL's first playoff game behind a paywall — a move by the league that generated no shortage of complaints from fans.

Nonetheless, the average viewership easily surpassed the previous record of 15.3 million for the Nov. 30 matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys on Amazon Prime Video. It also surpassed the audiences for the Saturday night wild-card playoff games that were shown on NBC in two of the last three years.

Last year’s first-round playoff game between the Los Angeles Chargers and Jacksonville Jaguars averaged 20.61 million viewers.

According to various reports, NBCUniversal paid $110 million for the rights to the game. Although the final score wasn't close, the Dolphins-Chiefs game had the novelty of being one of the coldest in NFL history — and Taylor Swift was in attendance to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

Judging by the audience, Saturday's game is unlikely to be the last playoff matchup shown on a streaming service.

Hans Schroeder, the NFL's executive vice president of media distribution, said viewership would be one factor in deciding if a wild card game would continue to be exclusively streamed in the future.

Under the NFL’s contract, each of its four broadcast partners — NBC, CBS, Fox and ESPN/ABC — gets at least one wild-card game. Of the two remaining games, one rotates each year between NBC, CBS and Fox, while the other will likely be up for bid each year. That means Peacock, Paramount+, Amazon or ESPN+ could eventually be in the running.

I think the truth lies in between.
The limping Chargers and Jacksonville Jaguars of last year aren't nearly the draw as Mahomes, Kelce, Tua and Tyreek Hill...so we can can chug salt with that tidbit.
If you're getting 51 million for KC/Buffalo, you could assume you could break 30 for KC/Miami.
They didn't get that so certainly they lost a lot of eyeballs...but we also didn't do our jobs and knock that down to a 'oh shit' number.

I didn't pay for it. I did my part.

In the future I will continue to do so whether that is finding free trials or streaming it 'illegally'.

I gathered with a group of people who watched together at a home where they utilized the free Instacart+ trial and then cancelled the day after the game.

I already pay for Amazon as they have enough content and benefits to be worth what I pay so games there don't cost me more.

I am not paying for Peacock. They have nothing else I want.

The Chiefs were hugely popular in the 90s and have grown fan bases worldwide ever since. Jayhawks too.

Everyone loves a winna. Mr. Peaceful, Mr. Happy, that's what they long to be

Just a reminder, the Bills traded the 10th pick to the Chiefs in 2017. We picked Mahomes.

That trade actually worked out pretty good for the Bills too. Player wise.

No doubt.
But it’s also largely been the reason for their failures in the postseason.

And now Allen’s contract balloons.

Allen is like Phil Rivers in that he can turn some freakish plays. But his legacy will be the same.

Thuney looking like a long shot to play.
Against Baltimore's defense? Ouch.

I don't think I've said (in mixed font or otherwise) that a cap wouldn't work at all.

I think I've said that a cap wouldn't work as well in baseball as it does in football.

Mostly just kIdDiNg.
I'm not gonna be the one to derail this thread anymore ( I was original derailer ) - not days before what could be another masterpiece from Mahomes.

If Skyy Moore and Kadarius Toney are both healthy enough to play, do we even bother?

(handshake)

Bother activating them? I'm afraid the answer is yes - wasn't it just last year we were a twisted ankle away from like running corners out there at WR in the AFC Championship?

It would be nice if we are going to be down Thuney, Gay, Edwards if Baltimore could oblige and be down Marlon Humphrey, starting CB, and Mark Andrews, a top 5 TE in the league when healthy.
