Pregame

After both being strangely down a little last week, the 12 p.m. ET hour returned to normal levels, with Fox NFL Sunday beating CBS' The NFL Today 3.7 to 2.9. Fox has won all 14 weeks of the 2013 season in the battle of the pregame shows. 

CBS (Regional Window) 

The Eye Network benefited from having some of that crazy, snow-filled 1 p.m. ET action, between Kansas City-Washington, a bizarre Miami-Pittsburgh ending, as well as matchups featuring the Jets and Indianapolis. 

The window, which also featured a late Denver Broncos game, scored a 13.3 rating, up 11 percent from the same window in 2012.
