Sunday night’s NFL game wasn’t even close — and neither was the competition on Monday morning’s Nielsen ratings sheets.

NBC was first in ratings with a 5.5 rating/16 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and first in viewers with an average of 15 million, according to preliminary numbers. Though due to the nature of live sports, numbers for the network are approximate.

At 7 p.m., Part 1 of “Football Night in America” got a 1.8/6 and 6.2 million viewers. At 7:30, Part 2 had a 3.6/11 and 10 million viewers. Part 3 at 8 received a 4.7/14 and 13 million viewers. The game itself at 8:30 earned a 6.9/19 and 18.1 million viewers — both highs in primetime.
