-Ratings Breakdown:
New England at the New York Jets on Sunday Night Football led NBC to an easy overnight victory, with an estimated 14.7 rating/22 share for the primetime portion (from 8:30-11 p.m.). Combined with pre-game Football Night in America and NBC’s advantage over No. 2 CBS last night was a hefty 45 percent. Keep in mind, of course, that results for any live sporting event are always approximate. Here is the half-hour breakdown:

Sunday Night Football (NBC)
8:30 p.m.: 14.2/21 (#1)
9:00 p.m.: 14.6/21 (#1)
9:30 p.m.: 15.5/23 (#1)
10:00 p.m.: 15.1/23 (#1)
10:30 p.m.: 14.2/23 (#1)

Football Night in America (NBC)
7:00 p.m.: 2.2/ 4 (#4)
7:30 p.m.: 3.9/ 6 (#4)
8:00 p.m.: 9.4/15 (#1)

In week four news, it looks like Once Upon a Time on ABC is a definite hit with a consistent 7.4/11 in the overnights at 8 p.m. Comparably, that built from lead-in America’s Funniest Home Videos (#3: 4.2/ 7 at 7 p.m.) by 76 percent. Year-ago occupant Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was considerably weaker at a 5.4/ 8 on 11/14/10. And last night’s overnight tally is only 11 percent below its debut on Oct. 23 (8.4/13). Needless to say, I am personally eating a large plate of crow given how I predicted Once Upon a Time would not succeed. Gulp!

Despite the improved lead-in support, soon-to-conclude Desperate Housewives at 9 p.m. (#3: 6.5/10) dipped year-to-year by 24 percent (8.5/12 on 11/14/10). Episode seven of Pan Am at 10 p.m., meanwhile, fell to a series-low 4.4/ 7 at 10 p.m. ABC may want to rethink that additional script order.

Over at CBS, granddaddy 60 Minutes finished a comfortable second with a 9.9/16 in the overnights at 7 p.m. While the skew will, of course, be older, this is still a “thumbs up” based on the overnights. Odd-fitting lead-out The Amazing Race was on the 8 p.m. map with a 7.1/11, which was on par from one year earlier. Next on CBS were scripted dramas The Good Wife (#2: 7.3/11) and veteran CSI: Miami (#2: 6.8/11) from 9-11 p.m. Although The Good Wife built by seven percent from year-ago occupant Undercover Boss (6.8/10 on 11/14/10), the results among adults 18-49 will definitely be considerably lower.

Last, but not least was Fox, which got a huge boost care of the half-hour Football overrun at a 16.0/26 in the overnights at 7 pm. That led into post-game The OT at a second-place 9.9/16 at 7:30 p.m., which will no doubt win the time among adults 18-49 (and all male demos). Fox, unfortunately, has sprung a leak at 8:30 p.m. with week three of animated comedy Allen Gregory at a very last-place 2.8/ 4 in the overnights at 8:30 p.m. Comparably, that dipped by 33 percent from year-ago time period occupant The Cleveland Show (4.2/ 6 on 11/14/10), with retention out of lead-in The Simpsons (#4: 5.2/ 8 at 8 p.m.) of only 54 percent. Chances are returning Bob’s Burgers will be back sooner than Fox anticipated.

With weaker lead-in support, Fox’s Family Guy at 9 p.m. was down by 16 percent year-to-year (4.9/ 7 to 4.1/ 6), followed by American Dad at an also fourth-place 3.1/ 5 at 9:30 p.m.
