Last Sunday's highly anticipated battle for first place in the NFC East between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys delivered first-place ratings for Fox. The game was the highest-rated regular-season NFL game in nearly a decade. The game, which aired just after 4 p.m., scored 27.6 million total viewers and a 17.8 household rating and 32 share, according to numbers from Nielsen Media Research. It was the highest-rated game since 1997's Dec. 15 Monday night battle between the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos, which aired on ABC. The game was likely given a shot in the arm from the "Bowl Championship Series Selection Show," which followed immediately after and which announced which schools would be participating in the controversial collegiate championship. That show averaged an 8.4/13 and 13.3 million viewers. Season to date, Fox’s national game average has now jumped ahead of "Grey's Anatomy" as the top-rated show on TV. It’s averaging a 14.3/27, up from last year’s 13.1/24.
So, more people than ever saw the Giants get beat down for the 5th time in a row. Awesome. Can Neilsen create a formula to see how many pissed of Giants fans there are after each Sunday??
