NBC’s ratings for Sunday Night Football have been through the roof this season and as Bears-Giants set a record, it was the number one show in primetime for the week and the most watched primetime game in October in 10 years.

The game wasn’t great. Chicago barely showed up, but even so, the overnight ratings were extremely good for NBC Sports. Naturally, Chicago would be the top rated market, but New York? I don’t quite understand the ratings for the top market, but it’s a strange market to begin with. “SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL” HAS BEST NFL […]
