Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos took a road trip to Los Angeles to take on the Rams on Christmas. The game turned into a debacle for the team and cost head coach Nathaniel Hackett his job. But according to the latest numbers, the embarrassing road trip pulled more viewers on the holiday than the entire NBA combined. And the NFL world cannot come to terms with the fact.

The reigning Super Bowl champions mauled the Broncos 51-14 on Christmas day. The fans cannot fathom how such a one-sided game can trump the entire basketball slate.

The number pushed the NFL world into disbelief 

Russell Wilson took the field for the Broncos in week 16 of the NFL against the Rams on Christmas day. And he added another shocking performance to his resume since joining the Denver-based franchise. And the same day, the NBA had a great lineup of clashes to keep the viewers hooked during the holiday. But apparently, basketball paled in front of football.

According to the latest viewership data, the SoFi disaster featuring the Broncos pulled more viewers than the entire NBA slate for the day combined. Here is the data.

The NFL world could not believe the numbers. Many were surprised to see more people watching Wilson lose badly. This fan cannot believe the numbers the Broncos and the Rams pulled 

Another Fan says Wilson burning the Broncos franchise got more numbers than the NBA.

For this fan, the numbers are crazy.

This fan compared the level of NFL with NBA through these numbers.

And this fan cannot control their laughter.

The numbers come as a shock for this fan.

The numbers are indeed a bit shocking. But considering the fact that the NBA games are on every other day, the viewers might have switched to the rarer thing of the two. But Wilson would have hoped that nobody watched what happened in Los Angeles on TV.

The Rams totally outplayed the Broncos at the SoFi Stadium, turning the clash into a disaster for the traveling team. QB Baker Mayfield, who joined the Rams off a waiver just three weeks ago, threw two touchdowns and 230 passing yards. Wilson, on the other hand, threw three interceptions in the game and just one touchdown. The loss was the Broncos’ 11th of the season. The debacle cost Hackett his job as the head coach. And Wilson is facing criticism left and right. So, the fan surprise over the viewership numbers does hold some merit.
