A testy game between the undefeated Panthers and the #1 market Giants scored a multi-year high on FOX.
The Week 15 NFL singleheader window, featuring Panthers/Giants in 52% of markets, drew a 15.3 overnight rating on FOX Sunday afternoon — up 24% from last year (12.3) and up 42% from 2013 (10.8), both of which aired on CBS. The 15.3 is the highest for the singleheader in five years, since CBS drew a 15.4 in Week 16 of the 2010 season.
The previous high for a singleheader this season was 13.6 in Week 9. That telecast also featured the Panthers, against the Packers in 56% of markets.
For the week, the singleheader topped NBC’s Sunday Night Football by 31% (15.3 to 11.7) — marking the first time all season that the window has outdrawn SNF in the metered markets. It came close to the NFL national window on CBS, which had a 15.9 overnight.
