Chiefs-Bills, Packers-Niners thrilling playoff games score blockbuster TV ratings

The television ratings are in for this past weekend's NFL playoff games -- and they're almost as spectacular as the games themselves.

According to Fox Sports, Saturday's prime-time thriller between the San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers drew an average of 36.9 million viewers. That makes it the most-watched television show on a Saturday night since the 1994 Winter Olympics, which featured the drama surrounding American figure skaters Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan.

The NFC divisional playoff game saw an increase of 10.6 million over last year's Saturday night game (Ravens-Bills) and was also Fox's most-watched Saturday telecast of any kind.
