Fox dominated Sunday ratings with the Nfc Divisional Playoff game between Tampa Bay and New Orleans, which earned an 8.0 in the adults 18-49 demographic while a staggering 28.8 million viewers tuned in to watch the Buccaneers defeat the Saints 30-20 to advance to the Nfc Championship.
The possibly final matchup between future Hall of Fame quarterbacks Tom Brady and Drew Brees — the latter is rumored to be retiring — was the top-rated telecast of the weekend and the top-rated NFL broadcast since Super Bowl Liv in February. It drew a 21.2/39 overnight rating, Fox said today.
The game was a solid lead-in to Fox’s freshman animated series The Great North, which skyrocketed to a 2.6 in the demo and netted 8.42 million viewers since its premiere. Family Guy also saw a surge since its last fresh episode, delivering a 1.1 in the demo and 3.34. These fast-affiliate numbers are preliminary and likely will be adjusted in finals.
