The Houston Texans' 31-2 bashing at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas Day was largely a three-hour flop. But fans inside NRG Stadium weren't exactly fuming over the holiday loss, with a star-studded halftime show providing a serious saving grace.
Global pop superstar Beyoncè wowed fans with a near-half-hour performance, which included a medley of tracks from her latest Grammy-nominated album Cowboy Carter. Those inside Houston's home stadium were enthralled by the highly-choreographed celebration. Viewers on Netflix appeared similarly pleased.
A press release from the NFL on Friday noted viewership for both of Netflix's Christmas Day game peaked during Beyoncé's halftime performance.
