The Game peaked at an 8.1/13 from 9-9:30 p.m. ET.
NO. 1 BROADCAST OF THE NIGHT: “Sunday Night Football” was the No. 1 broadcast of the night in the metered markets and dominated its time period, beating second-place CBS by 100 percent (7.0 vs. 3.5 from 8-11 p.m. ET). SNF CONTINUES TO DOMINATE SUNDAY NIGHTS: This continues a trend for SNF dominating Sunday nights. Last season, “Sunday Night Football” was the No. 1 show all 18 nights (100 percent) vs. its competition (16 Sundays, one Tuesday and one Thursday).
The 7.1/12 overnight rating was down slightly from last year’s 7.2/12 for the Vikings-49ers game, which featured Brett Favre at quarterback for the Vikings. Top 10 Metered Markets for Chargers-Cowboys: Follow NBC Sports PR on Twitter at Twitter.com/NBCSportsPR --NBC SPORTS GROUP-- |
