Green Bay’s 34-31 win over Dallas was seen by an average of 48.5 million on Fox, the most-viewed NFL divisional playoff game ever.

The game Sunday had a 26.1 rating and 46 share, the network said, the highest-rated NFC divisional game since 1997.

The rating is the percentage of television households tuned to a program, and the share is the percentage watching a telecast among those homes with TVs on at the time.

The Patriots’ 34-16 victory over Houston on Saturday night had an 18.2/31 on CBS, which said total viewers were not yet available.

Pittsburgh’s 18-16 victory over Kansas City, shifted to prime time Sunday night because of bad weather, was seen by 37.4 million people on NBC and its digital platform, including 37.1 million on the network.

Atlanta’s 36-20 win over Seattle on Saturday received a 16.2/32 on Fox and was seen by an average of 28.7 million on Fox, down 10 percent from New England’s win over Kansas City on CBS in the comparable time period last year.

Godsey out in Houston

The Houston Texans made their first move since bowing out of the playoffs Saturday, announcing that offensive coordinator George Godsey will not return next season. Coach Bill O'Brien said in a statement that he was ‘‘grateful for the tireless work ethic and contributions’’ Godsey made to the team. Godsey had come under fire this season as the Texans’ offense ranked near the bottom of the league behind the struggles of new quarterback Brock Osweiler.

Redskins, Rob Ryan talk

The Washington Redskins have been active in their quest to find a defensive coordinator after firing Joe Barry at season’s end. The team confirmed its executives interviewed longtime NFL assistant coach Rob Ryan, most recently the Buffalo Bills’ assistant head coach/defense under his brother, Rex Ryan. The Redskins also interviewed former Jacksonville Jaguars coach Gus Bradley for the position, as well as Wade Phillips, who subsequently accepted an offer from the Los Angeles Rams under former Redskin coordinator Sean McVay.

Official complaint

Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid doesn’t believe the holding penalty on left tackle Eric Fisher that cost Kansas City a tying 2-point conversion against Pittsburgh on Sunday night should have been called. After watching film of the decisive play in the Steelers’ victory, Reid said Monday: ‘‘I don’t want to be fined any money, but I'd lean a different way.’’

Fisher appeared to hook Steelers pass rusher James Harrison on the conversion attempt. But the play was not cut-and-dried: Harrison dipped especially low and may have been losing his balance, and he probably would not have gotten to the quarterback, anyway.

Sherman hurtingSeattle Seahawks coach Pete ­Carroll said on his radio show Monday morning that cornerback ­Richard Sherman played the second half of the season with an MCL injury in his knee. Carroll said Sherman’s injury was significant and it was ‘‘stressful’’ for Sherman to play with the injury. Carroll also divulged that he had a ‘‘big meeting’’ with Sherman in regard to a tumultuous season for the cornerback that included two sideline blowups during games. ‘‘He has some regrets,’’ Carroll said.

Classy ending

With two minutes to go and the Falcons facing first-and-goal at the Seattle 2, coach Dan Quinn called for Matt Ryan to take a knee instead of running up the score on his old team and his old boss. ‘‘It was a very classy way to end the game,’’ Carroll said . . . After the first half-dozen playoff games were decided by an average of 18.3 points and were all won by the home team, Sunday brought road success and nail-biters in the Packers’ and Steelers’ wins.
