Saturday night's San Francisco-Green Bay Packers NFC game on Fox, a 13-10 49ers win decided by Robbie Gould's 45-yard field goal on the game's final play, drew 36.9 million viewers. The game was the most-watched TV show on a Saturday night in 28 years, dating to the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway.
