Jets' win vs. Patriots draws best TV audience since 1997



As expected, the New York Jets' upset of the New England Patriots on Sunday was a smashing ratings success.

CBS' broadcast of the Jets' 28-21 win drew a 26.2 rating, which was up 13% from last year. It was the highest-rated Sunday afternoon divisional round game since 1995.

It also drew the highest rating of any divisional round game since a matchup of the Dallas Cowboys and Carolina Panthers in 1997 on Fox.

Why do you think the ratings for the NFL are so much higher this season compared to previous seasons?
