In this season of record ratings for the NFL, Monday Night Football continues its winning streak, winning the cable primetime ratings, not just overall, but in every single key male demographic.

After not watching any sports on Sunday (visiting the three week old niece in NYC), I’m catching up with what I missed today. Starting with USA Today’s Michael Hiestand who looks over what the NFL pregame studio analysts had to say about the league’s bottom feeders.

It’s becoming wash, rinse, repeat for Sunday Night Football as it wins the network primetime ratings, this time for the Chicago-Atlanta game last night.
