Giants-Packers Post Monster Overnight Rating on Fox

The overnights are coming in for the Sunday NFL Divisional Playoff games. Fox is crowing about the New York Giants-Green Bay Packers game which was played in the 4:30 p.m. window, normally the highest rated and most watched timeslot for the NFL. And this has been proven once again. A stunning 27.4 rating with a 45 share, the best Divisional Playoff overnight dating back 15 years.

Fox Sports PR man Lou D’Ermilio posts the good news for the Foxies.

As you can see from the above tweet, Milwaukee had an amazing number and so did New York.
