Sunday Night Football King For 3rd Straight Week

By Marcus Vanderberg 

Not even a watermelon in the face could knock off NBC’s Sunday Night Football as primetime king on Sunday evenings.

The Miami-NY Jets game earned a 13.0 overnight and a 21 share, defeating a slew of network season premieres, including The Amazing Race, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and Family Guy.

Last night’s game was a 10 percent ratings increase over last year’s Week 3 game between Indianapolis and Arizona.

The top two markets for Jets-Dolphins came from the state of Florida (Miami & West Palm Beach), but third on the list was Las Vegas, earning a 22.2/32.

Are those retirees that couldn’t find a condo at Del Boca Vista or were the Dolphins -1.5 just that enticing to gamblers in Sin City?
