The Kansas City Chiefs-Miami Dolphins game on Sunday was epic. Firstly, it was a game between two of the most electric teams in the league and secondly, it was in Germany. NFL’s international popularity is growing at a rapid pace and Sunday Morning game between the Chiefs and the Dolphins was a testament to that.

According to SportsTVRatings.com, 9.2 million viewers watched the game on Sunday. That is a staggering number compared to other sports. For instance, the MLB 2023 World Series averaged 9.1 million viewers for its five games, which was a record low. The number would have been way bigger had the game been on Prime Time. But 9.2 million viewers is still huge considering the fact that it was a day game.

Last year’s Germany game attracted only 5.8 million viewers. It was a game that featured Tom Brady, the greatest quarterback of all time. This year’s number was way bigger, mainly because of the personnel involved in the game. The game featured some of the best players in the world with the likes of Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill and Tua Tagovailoa taking centerstage.
