Byes: New England, Houston, Indianapolis, San Diego, Washington, Minnesota
1. Green Bay (Milwaukee market) (NBC) – 49.2
Wisconsin football fans had very little sympathy or desire to look away from the Packers’ deconstruction of the Bears on Sunday night, registering one of the highest local ratings anywhere of the season, and a high for Milwaukee.
2. Seattle (Fox) – 45.9
A meeting with the New York Giants in the late slot led to a season high for the reigning Super Bowl champions.
3. New Orleans (Fox) – 43.3
4. Buffalo (CBS) – 41.6
If only the Bills would stop torturing the multitude of fans tuning into see their hopeful rebirth. A second consecutive season high rating for Buffalo.
5. Cleveland (NFL Net) – 39.1
A Thursday night game and a somewhat competitive Brownies team hit a season high rating in Cleveland for their in-state rivals.

9. Cincinnati (CBS) – 33.5
10. Baltimore (CBS) – 30.7
11. Arizona (Phoenix market) (Fox) – 30.2
A season high tuned into the NFL’s best record and Carson Palmer’s torn ACL out in the desert.
12. Detroit (Fox) – 28.8
13. Philadelphia (ESPN) – 28.4
Kind of surprisingly, Philadelphians were not all that interested in a Monday Night Football blowout, as the win over Carolina drew a season low in the city of brotherly love.
14. Dallas (Fox) – 27.4
15. Chicago (NBC) – 26.3
16. St. Louis (Fox) – 22.2
By a wide margin the highest rating the Rams have gotten locally this season. Leftover Cardinals fans in the market?

18. San Francisco (SF-OAK-SJ market) (Fox) – 20.3
19. Tennessee (Nashville market) (CBS) – 19.2
20. Miami (CBS) – 19.0
A season high where you might not expect it for a Dolphins game against Detroit.
21. Carolina (Charlotte market) (ESPN) – 18.9
The people of Charlotte had very little interest in watching Cam Newton and the Panthers get blown out on Monday night, as this was a season low in the market.

23. Atlanta (Fox) – 16.5
24. NY Giants (Fox) – 15.6
25. NY Jets (CBS) – 13.5
