The Kansas City Chiefs are the team to beat in the NFL right now.
Most fans, even those who wish for their downfall, are drawn to watch them.
That was more evident than ever on Saturday.
As reported by Yahoo Sports, their AFC Divisional Game vs. the Houston Texans just set a viewership record.
The game drew 32.7 million viewers, making it the most-watched NFL game in ESPN history.
The Chiefs and Texans collected more eyeballs than any ESPN NFL game EVER ?

Of course, not everybody watching was rooting for the home side.
There have been countless complaints about the referees allegedly favoring Patrick Mahomes’ team, and with so many eyeballs tuning in, social media was flooded with conspiracy theories and whatnot.
The Chiefs will square off with Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills for yet another edition of their playoff rivalry, and all of the previous games have been instant classics.
There will never be more at stake than this time around.
The Chiefs will strive to get the best of the Bills in the playoffs again.
They will look to get back at them for their loss in the regular season and keep their pursuit of a three-peat alive.
On the other hand, the Bills will look to spoil their three-peat season and end their campaign on the road to finally shake off years of heartbreak.
It will be must-watch television, and even non-football fans might want to tune in.
