Some studies reveal that the game between the two teams may have obtained these numbers because it was the first Playoff match that was shown exclusively on the Peacock platform. Throughout the season, NBC signed an agreement that allowed the channel to show select games.
In addition to setting a record, the teams’ match was the coldest in the history of the United States with a temperature of -31 degrees. However, even with the lower temperature, the Kansas City Chiefs demonstrated excellent dynamics between the athletes and did not let the cold air affect their performance.
