The NFL's expansion to Australia paid off handsomely for Netflix, with the Rams-49ers matchup bringing in an average of 18.5 million viewers in the U.S. and 21.7 million globally, according to viewership data from the streamer and Nielsen.
Last year’s Vikings-Lions Christmas Day matchup on Netflix set a streaming record with 27.5 million viewers. However, that record was broken a few weeks later when the NFL placed the Bears-Packers wild-card matchup on Amazon Prime Video, which drew more than 30 million viewers.
