[TV] Ratings: Football Dominates Again, NBC Wins The Night

FOX does well too...
A NFL game between Green Bay and Detroit gave NBC the win for the night. FOX also had an increase from late afternoon NFL games that ran into primetime, which helped The Simpsons and Bob's Burgers. Meanwhile, The Amazing Race was in line with the average for the season. ABC's Hallmark Hall of Fame movie Christmas With Holly had the best ratings the franchise has had since ABC acquired it last year.
NBC won with 15.9 million viewers and a 9.6 rating/15 share in households. It was followed by CBS (9.6 million, 6.0/9), FOX (8.55 million, 5.2/8) and ABC (6.7 million, 4.1/6).
In the adults 18-49 demographic, NBC won again with a 5.7 rating, followed by FOX (3.5), CBS (2.2) and ABC (1.6).
