The Broncos’ loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday was a bummer for local fans, but a season high for the NFL’s TV ratings.
The telecast was the highest-rated NFL game this season on CBS with an average overnight household rating of 18.6 and a 32 share (or percent of those viewing television).
According to CBS, that makes it the third highest-rated regular-season game in 16 years on the network in the metered markets since CBS got the NFL back in 1998.
Peak viewing was 3:30-4 p.m. locally.
Boston was No. 1 ranked of 56 metered markets with a 47.2 rating, 69 share. Denver was No. 2 with a 44.8 rating, 70 share.
