The Kansas City Chiefs vs Miami Dolphins: A Peacock Party (of 23 Million People)
Did you ditch cable for the allure of cute animal documentaries and forget the NFL was even a thing? No worries, because we've all been there. But let me tell you, if you missed the epic (and frigid) AFC wild-card playoff game between the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs, you missed a record-breaking moment for Peacock.
That's right, folks. This wasn't your grandma's dusty old bunny ear situation. This was a streaming revolution – a David vs Goliath tale where David (Peacock) slayed the ratings giant (traditional cable).
So, how many people tuned in for this historic Peacock showdown?
Brace yourselves – a whopping 23 million viewers streamed the game, according to the Nielsen gods. That's not just a lot of viewers, that's more people than you could fit in, well, let's just say a whole lot of stadiums.
Wait, wasn't the game only on Peacock?
Yup, you got it. This was an exclusive party, and Peacock sent out the golden tickets. Sure, some folks in Kansas City and Miami could catch the game on local NBC affiliates, but for the rest of the country, Peacock was the only way to witness this gridiron greatness.
Did Peacock just become the coolest kid on the streaming block?
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Netflix still has all the seasons of Friends, but Peacock definitely earned some serious bragging rights. This record-breaking viewership proves that people are willing to cut the cord and embrace streaming, even for live sports – especially when it comes to playoff football!
So, the moral of the story? Sometimes the best parties happen online, and Peacock just threw a doozy of a game night.
