NBC Sports coverage of last night's Dallas Cowboys-New Orleans Saints "Sunday Night Football" game averaged a 14.8 rating, 24 share in metered-market households and NBC won the night in the 56 local markets metered by Nielsen Media Research and in adults 18-49 in the 25 markets with Local People Meters.
