New Orleans has been dethroned from the top local ratings spot for the first time this season! Kansas City, AKA the epicenter of sports at the moment, is your new champion. Overall, this window, which was pretty solidly split between Chiefs-49ers and a blowout Jets-Chargers game, drew a 13.2 overnight rating. That was down 29 percent from the incredible Broncos-Cowboys shootout from last year. Admittedly, it was a pretty weak slate for the late afternoon national window.
