Pregame
In one of the closer gaps of the year, Fox NFL Sunday only beat CBS' The NFL Today by a count of 2.9 to 2.5. Fox is usually well into the mid-3 range. CBS was also down a tick or two with a lighter Sunday than usual.
Fox (Regional Window)
Fox had a pretty weak regional slate, with not even a real lead game in most markets, perhaps Arizona-Philadelphia. They drew a 10.8 overnight in the regional window, down 20 percent from the similar window last year.
Ironically enough, Buffalo led the way for the Bills home game played in Toronto.

NBC (Sunday Night Football)
