Chiefs-Bengals had the best ratings of any CBS single game since 2016. And still only was viewed by 45% of the country. Imagine if this was a national game as it should have been

NFL needs to realize they have a ratings winner right here in Wincinnati and quit dicking around with the game maps.

KC has been the hot team for a minute but the Bengals are quickly gaining fans and are certainly fun to watch.

Next year I am sure the KC Vs Cincy game will be a SNF game.
In fact, we will have a number of prime-time games next year.

I feel like Burrow & Chase would be so easy for the NFL to market as two guys you want to see ball.

My gut tells me that the league puts us in the Monday night slot for the playoff game.

Had the energy of a playoff game. At least the second half did.
Also, for my money it was one of the best games of the year across the league.
Everything in this post is my fault.

I was just thinking that. Shit, I hope not. I want us to play Saturday at 1:00 so we have the most possible time between playoff games.

I can't help but think the reason it wasn't flexed or made the true national game was because the decision makers really didn't think the Bengals would be able to hang.

I really hope not. Really hoping for a Saturday game. No work that day or the next.

Honestly, the higher seeds should be allowed to pick when they want to play. It incentivices people closing out the year. Kind of like how the college fb playoff works. The higher seed gets to pick where they want to play.

We've gone from WINCE-innati to WIN-cinnati and the media had better catch up.

I was think the same thing.
People outside Cincinnati are excited about this team. They are getting some prime-time slots next year.

Wasn't this the #1 CBS game? Romo was play calling and it was the local game here in Dallas. Seems like that would be the national game to me...though i didn't look at any coverage maps.
