NBC's SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL Tops Ratings in All Key Measures

NBC is currently #1 for the night among ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX in every key measure - adults, men and women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54, as well as total viewers -- in the fast-national ratings.

In metered-market results, which accurately reflect time-zone adjustments, last night's Cincinnati Bengals-New England Patriots 'Sunday Night Football' telecast averaged a 12.8 rating, 20 share from 8:30-11 p.m. ET in household results from the 56 markets metered by Nielsen Media Research. Despite the game's lopsided 43-17 outcome,NBC won the night in metered-market primetime averages.

The 12.8/20 overnight for the Bengals-Patriots telecast is up +10% versus last year's 'Sunday Night Football' week-five game (Texans-49ers, 11.6/19).

It's also the best ever for a Bengals game on NBC's 'Sunday Night Football,' now in its ninth season.

Top local ratings for the Bengals-Patriots game on NBC were: Boston, 36.1/55; Cincinnati, 35.6/51; Providence, 30.1/43; Dayton, 24.6/36; New Orleans, 17.3/25; Las Vegas, 17.1/27; Norfolk, 15.9/25; Buffalo, 15.5/24; Columbus, 15.2/24; Indianapolis, 14.8/25; San Diego, 14.8/27; and Richmond, 14.8/23
