Thursday Final Nationals: Warriors-Celtics Draw Best NBA TNT Thursday Regular Season Telecast in Twelve Months

The game was a blowout — Pittsburgh Steelers defeating the Tennessee Titans 40-17 — but NFL Network’s “Thursday Night Football” was still the night’s top attraction and led its simulcast partner NBC to easily win Thursday prime time. The telecast emphasized its aerial views (from directly above the field, behind the players) for its game coverage.

Top markets for Titans-Steelers on NBC / NFLN: Pittsburgh 36.7/55; Nashville 22.3/34; Richmond 14.7/24; New Orleans 13.6/19; Norfolk 12.9/20; Memphis 12.6/18; Denver 12.3/22; Baltimore 12.0/21; Dayton 11.8/19; and Knoxville 11.7/19.
