NBC's SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL Leads Primetime in All Key Measures

In metered-market results, which are time zone-adjusted, the 13.6/22 in metered-market households from 8:30-11:15 p.m. ET for NBC Sports' coverage of last night's New England Patriots-Atlanta Falcons game is the #1 rating of the night (excluding Fox's NFL overrun).

In fact, the 13.6 for Patriots-Falcons is the #1 Primetime rating of premiere week by more than a full rating point (13.6 vs. 12.5 for CBS's #2 "NCIS") in metered-market households.

"Sunday Night Football" led NBC to the Sunday Primetime victory in 7-11 p.m. averages in metered-market households, topping the #2 broadcast net, CBS, by 53% (10.4/17 vs. 6.8/11).

The top five markets were: Boston 36.0/55; Providence 28.2/41; Atlanta 27.2/40; New Orleans 25.6/35; and Richmond 18.3/26
