We don’t have a press release, but various tweets from NBC Sports’ Public Relations department regarding the ratings for the Sunday Night Football game between the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers, dubbed as “Handshake II.”

According to the Fast National ratings, NBC garnered a 12.9 and over 21 million viewers for the game.

Locally, Detroit led all metered markets followed by two in California.

#Detroit led all markets for last night’s SNF game w 32.1 rating & 46 share. Sacramento-Stockton was No. 2 w 27.3/44, SF was No. 3 w 24.0/47

In addition, NBC says this is the 4th consecutive year where the Week 2 game generated more than 21 million viewers. That’s quite impressive.
