STAMFORD, Conn. - November 10, 2015 - After nine weeks featuring tension-filled close games (including two overtimes), a historic battle of unbeatens (6-0 Green Bay vs. 6-0 Denver), and player milestones (Drew Brees' 400th career touchdown pass on the quickest regular-season overtime TD in NFL history; Peyton Manning's record-tying 186th QB win), NBC's Sunday Night Football has extended its primetime dominance in the Adult 18-49 demographic.

Through the opening nine weeks of the NFL season (10 telecasts), NBC's Sunday Night Football is averaging a primetime-best 8.6 rating in the coveted Adult 18-49 demographic, marking a 28% advantage over primetime's #2 show (6.7 for The Walking Dead), based on official live + same day national data released by The Nielsen Company. Last season at this point, SNF (8.0 rating) had a 4% advantage over the second-ranked show in the demo (7.7 for The Walking Dead).

SNF's 8.6 rating in A18-49 is the second-best rating in the demo through Week 9 in the 10-season history of Sunday Night Football on NBC (only a fraction behind an 8.7 in 2011), and up 8% from this point last season (8.0).

In addition:

· NBC's Sunday Night Football is averaging 23.57 million viewers - the best viewership for the NFL's broadcast primetime package at this point in the season in 19 years (23.59 million in 1996).

In addition, the 8-8:30 p.m. ET portion of Football Night in America (including pre-kick coverage), is averaging 14.0 million viewers, and a 5.0 rating among Adults 18-49, which would rank No. 5 among regularly-scheduled primetime shows in the demographic.
