Received the final ratings from Week 2 in the National Football League. Once again, all 30 local markets had NFL games as their #1 program for the week.
In addition, Sunday Night Football with Detroit-San Francisco and CBS’ national game featuring the New York Jets at Pittsburgh were the top 2 most viewed programs of the week.
So the NFL continues to clean up in the ratings nationwide. Is there anything else for me to say? Not really. You can check out everything from the National Football League below.
NFL GAMES TWO MOST-WATCHED SHOWS OF WEEK
ESPN’s Broncos-Falcons Cable’s Most-Watched Show since January

Broncos-Falcons on ESPN’s Monday Night Football in Week 2 drew 15.5 million viewers to rank as the most-watched show on cable since January’s BCS National Championship Game (Alabama-LSU) on ESPN.
