Blackout: Bay Area

1. Seattle (NYG vs. SEA) – 45.9/75
2. Phoenix (STL vs. ARZ) – 30.2/54
3. New Orleans (NYG vs. SEA) – 24.0/36

10. Dallas (NYG vs. SEA) – 16.3/30
15. New York (NYG vs. SEA) – 15.6/28

A whopping 15.6 rating for the ‘Game of the Week’ window, up  five percent from Broncos-Chargers on CBS last season. Seattle, one of the league’s most reliably huge markets, hit a season high. Phoenix and St. Louis — who aired the backup Cardinals-Rams game — also drew season highs.

Sunday Night Football (NBC)

1. Milwaukee – 49.2/68
2. Chicago – 26.3/38
3. Las Vegas – 19.7/30
4. Minneapolis-St. Paul – 15.5/24
5. Sacramento – 13.2/21
6. San Diego – 13.0/24
7. Denver – 13.0/21
8. Norfolk – 12.7/19
9. New Orleans – 12.7/18
10. Phoenix – 12.4/19

Milwaukee drew a season high for the Packers’ beyond parody blowout of the Bears. Chicago somehow didn’t hit a season low for this game, possibly just out of sheer masochism or curiosity.

Nationally, the game drew an 11.1 rating, down 14 percent from Cowboys-Saints last year, which is no surprise given this was a 42 point game at halftime, the largest such deficit for a primetime game in NFL history.
