From 10:01-11 p.m. ET, "Chicago P.D." (1.7/5 in 18-49, 6.9 million viewers overall) is up in 18-49 and total viewers for a second week in a row and ranks #1 in the 10 p.m. hour in those and most other key measures among ABC, CBS and NBC (vs. a "Nashville" original and "CSI" encore), pending updates.
