Sunday’s AFC West showdown between the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs drew impressive ratings for NBC.
The Sunday Night Football game, which saw the Peyton Manning-led Broncos hand their divisional rivals their first loss of the season, drew a 16.7 overnight metered market rating.
Up significantly from last week’s Saints-Cowboys number (which was impressive in its own right), the performance was only 3% below the 17.3 delivered by last month’s marquee Broncos vs. Colts game.
Easily the top-rated show on television Sunday, the game ended in favor of the Broncos by a score of 27-17. Both teams are now 9-1.
