FROM NBC
CHIEFS-PATRIOTS “SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL” TIES AS THE TOP-RATED WEEK 6 NBC “SNF” TELECAST IN THE PACKAGE’S 13 SEASONS
THESE ARE THE HIGHEST “SNF” OVERNIGHTS SINCE WEEK 1 OF THE 2017 SEASON
CHIEFS-PATRIOTS SURGES +34% VS. THE YEAR-AGO GAME; IT’S THE 5TH STRAIGHT WEEK OF DOUBLE-DIGIT GROWTH FOR “SNF”
Sunday Primetime Ratings:
A reminder that the fast-affiliate ratings that came in at 11 a.m. ET/8 a.m. PT are not time zone-adjusted and are subject to change for live sports coverage.
Despite that, in these preliminary results, NBC ranks #1 from 8-11 p.m. among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox, outscoring that competition in all key measures – adults, men and women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54, plus total viewers — in the fast-affiliate ratings.
In metered-market results, which are time zone-adjusted, NBC Sports coverage of the “Sunday Night Football” game featuring the Kansas City Chiefs at the New England Patriots averaged a 14.6 rating, 25 share in metered-market households (not including digital) from 8:30-11:30 p.m. ET, making it the #1 highest-rated NBC “SNF” game since Week 1 of the 2017 NFL season and easily Sunday’s #1 primetime show.
The 14.6/25 is up +34% from the year-ago game in 2017 (10.9/18 for Giants-Broncos). It’s the fifth consecutive week of double-digit growth for “Sunday Night Football” versus 2017.
The 14.6/25 for Chiefs-Patriots ties for best-ever for NBC’s “SNF” Week 6 game in the 13 seasons of the package (matching the 2015 Patriots-Colts matchup, which featured 300+ yard performances and 3 TD passes apiece from Tom Brady and Andrew Luck).
The NBC “SNF” overnight for Chiefs-Patriots peaked at a 16.2/30 for the exciting finish from 11-11:30 p.m. ET).
Live streaming is not included in these NBC NFL overnights – full Total Audience Delivery (TAD) will be issued later and throughout season
Top markets for Chiefs-Patriots on NBC “SNF”: Kansas City 49.6/67; Boston 34.3/51; Providence 31.1/48; New Orleans 21.7/30; Denver 19.5/32; Norfolk 16.8/27; Richmond 16.8/26; Greensboro 16.6/27; Dallas 16.3/27; Pittsburgh 16.3/25.
The 49.6/67 local rating in Kansas City is the second-best for Chiefs in NBC “SNF” history.
NOTE: All ratings are “live plus same day” from Nielsen Media Research unless otherwise indicated.
