The playoffs’ first two games set a slew of milestones for NFL television ratings. The Seattle Seahawks’ 41-36 upset of the New Orleans Saints on NBC earned the highest preliminary rating for the early Saturday wild-card game in two decades. The 18.3 overnight rating, with a 33 share, was the best since the Redskins-Eagles game during the 1990 season and up 8 percent from last year’s Jets-Bengals matchup. The New York Jets’ last-play, 17-16 victory over the Indianapolis Colts earned the highest rating since the NFL began airing prime-time wild-card games in 2002. The 20. 8/33 was the best for any Saturday wild-card game since Arizona vs. Dallas in the 1999 season. The Associated Press
