Week 11 of the NFL and it’s wash, rinse, repeat for Sunday Night Football. It wins the overnight ratings over all comers, squashing the American Music Awards which no one really cared about and everybody else. The rating was 15.9 with a 24 share which beats last year’s Week 11 game by 24%. Quite impressive. […]
