The NFL presumes that the 2021 season was the most spectacular in its history

Sports Writing.- The executive vice president of the NFL, Hans Schroeder, affirmed this Wednesday that the 2021 regular season was the most spectacular in the history of the league.

“With incredible games and close competition, the 2021 regular season proved to be the most spectacular and exciting of all time,” said the also director of operations of NFL Media.

His words were based on the fact that of the 272 games played, 34 were decided on the last play, the most in league history. In addition, 49 were defined in the last minute or in extra time.

The competitive parity was also reflected in another 175 duels, 64 percent of the total games, which ended with a difference of just eight points, a figure that equals the fourth best record in the NFL in that department.

The manager trusted that games like the last of the season between the Raiders and the Chargers, which was decided in the last second of overtime in favor of Las Vegas, will be a constant in the playoffs that start this weekend.

“This year’s schedule, highlighted by an enhanced 17-game regular season, gave our fans incredible matchups. Now we look forward to an equally strong finish at the start of the postseason and, of course, the Super Bowl.”

Hans Schroeder also highlighted the increase in fans following league games on television and social media, which averaged 17.1 million viewers per game, the best since 2015 and 10 percent higher than the 2020 season.

The highest-rated game of the season was the Week 12 Las Vegas Raiders vs. Dallas Cowboys game watched by 10.8 million fans. The Lone Star team appeared in five of the 10 most-watched games throughout the season.

These were the 10 NFL games watched by the most millions of fans:
