NFL playoff ratings declined for a second week in a row despite four exciting games last weekend. The highly anticipated Ravens-Bills matchup saw a 16% decline in viewership compared to last year. The Eagles, Commanders, and Chiefs games also experienced drops in viewership, except for the Chiefs-Texans game, which saw a slight increase. Some attribute the decline in ratings to oversaturation of football due to the extended College Football Playoff format.
