Here's your weekly look at NFL ratings, which shows the pure dominance of the league from a local and national level.
CBS (Regional Window)

Fox (1 p.m. ET Window)
Fox had a decent slate. A key Lions-Cowboys showdown with a crazy finish aired in most of the country, with big markets like New York, Philadelphia and San Francisco also in the window. Still, the game set the trend for the day, being down just under two percent from last year's window. That window featured markets like Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington and Pittsburgh.

Fox ('America's Game of the Week' Window)
Washington-Denver didn't do too badly, considering it featured a 2-4 team heading in. RGIII vs. Peyton remained surprisingly close, with the DC football club leading by 14 at one point before Manning held on to win. Still, the game's (also, Atlanta-Arizona aired in a few markets) 17.5 rating couldn't top last year's window, which was mostly Giants-Cowboys.

NBC (Sunday Night Football)
SNF got beaten by the World Series in the overnights, 10.5 to 10.3, but will likely win among total viewers and among adults 18-49. The game, Vikings-Packers, was down nine percent from a fairly weak Saints team taking on Peyton and the Broncos.
