According to official league statistics, the NFLN broadcast of the top 100 players list special program, particularly the top ten, created a viewership record.
Especially at the moment the second place was announced, the instant viewership soared to 23 million, even comparable to an NFL regular-season game.
Originally, the importance of the top 100 players list lies in the result, not the unveiling process. It's like an awards ceremony; no one watches a four-hour long ceremony but waits for the awards to end to see the list of winners, so the show's ratings have always been mediocre. All netizens are waiting for the list to be released to find the names of the players they support; the show itself doesn't attract much attention.
