The 2011-2012 NFL Kickoff Game between the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints delivered a 17.2 rating/28 share according to Nielsen overnight ratings. More thorough ratings, including ratings for the President’s address, will be available later in the day.
The 17.2 rating is down slightly from last season’s kickoff game between the Saints and Minnesota Vikings, but it is still the second-highest rated kickoff game and “NFL on NBC” game ever, behind only last year’s game.
