Last night’s Cowboys-Redskins game on Sunday Night Football is the highest-rated NFL regular-season primetime game ever on NBC, and the highest-rated NFL regular-season primetime game on ANY network in 15 years, according to overnight data released today by The Nielsen Company.

The game also generated the best overnight rating for any Cowboys-Redskins primetime matchup in 19 years. The Washington D.C. market had its best rating ever for a primetime NFL game.


Sunday’s game on NBC, in which the Redskins defeated the Cowboys, 28-18, to win the NFC East, drew an 18.3 overnight rating and a 30 share, seven percent higher than last year’s Week 17 game (Cowboys-Giants 17.1/27), which was also a win-and-in game to determine the winner of the NFC East. Last night’s game topped the previous-best NFL regular-season primetime overnight on NBC (18.0/29 for the 2012 Week 1 matchup between the Steelers and Broncos).

Other Ratings Notes:

The Washington D.C market has its best overnight rating (44.6/68) for a regular-season primetime game in the history of Nielsen People Meters (since 1987), topping the previous high of 43.0/63 for Cowboys-Redskins, Sept. 6, 1993 on ABC).

Best overnight rating for any regular-season primetime game on ANY network in 15 years (Broncos-49ers, 19.3/30, Dec. 15, 1997 on ABC).

Best overnight rating for an NFL primetime regular-season final game in 18 years (19.6/33 for 49ers-Vikings, Dec. 26, 1994 on ABC).

Best overnight for a Cowboys-Redskins primetime matchup in 19 years (20.7/34 on Sept 6, 1993 on ABC).

These ratings record are going to keep getting broke, because of the population growth in recent years.

The last 4 Super Bowls have broke its own rating records year after year.

Last year the Cowboys vs Giants game broke the record. I imagine a game next year will break this rating record. Just like this year Super Bowl will break last year Super Bowl rating record.

I dont even care about the TV rating, I just made this thread to point out the stupid NFL Network top 10 list of rivalries they had a few weeks ago. They didnt list Redskins/Cowboys because "it hasnt been important for some time," yet had Steelers/Raiders number one. :comeon: :mindblown: :deadmanny:

I didnt understand how the Redskins/Cowboys dont make it because it isnt relevant in today's NFL, yet Raiders/Steelers make it to #2 because of 10 years in the 1970s. :snoop:

But that doesnt come close to Bengals/Browns, a rivalry NO ONE HAS EVER cared about outside of Ohio.

The only reason I wanted the cowboys to win was a chance to play them in the playoffs. Niners-Cowboys games can be GOAT, they just never play :to:

Also wanted revenge for them faggits talkin shyt from last years game :pacspit:

As much as I would love to destroy you like I always do... well, why not
Luck dummy, Dal and Wash are consistently #1 and #2 in the NFL in sales, worth. The Redskins have the largest fanbase in the league
If you didnt know that, ask yourself how did they remain the 2nd most lucrative team in the NFL even tho they haven't won anything in 20yrs?
I asked this question before on sohh and some clown said "cuz of dan snyder" :what:
Dan has only hurt the Redskins until he decided to stand down 3yrs ago
The majority of you guys will STILL til this day say Dan Snyder is in the way
It just goes to show how little most ppl know about football outside of there own teams
Run along now boy... and lay off that thizz :stopitslime:

With you logic, I guess nobody is watching TV anymore?
Cuz your making it seem like any game would of pulled these rating, like if RG3 isn't BOX OFFICE :comeon:
With the population growth over the last few years, I bet you the babies was like "fukk Nick Jrz, leave it on NBC goo goo gaa gaa (which is baby for mom)

The #1 rivalry even tho it won't be anymore is Pittsburgh vs Baltimore.. thats now, not all time

As of right this MOMENT? Skins Cowboys is the best rivalry. It always was
But the teams wasn't relevant enough. Thing is the Redskins are now AMERICA's Team. We been Black America's Team (chocolate city)
Our status then elevates the rivalry, so the rest of the country is interested in whatever the Redskins are interested in. When we scored that last touchdown. The way the TV panned out to the crowd and you say the band playing HTTR :wow:
I looked to my fam and was like "WTF is going on, they broke out into a full musical.. if I was a cowboy fan I'd be like :wtf:"

That type of passion isn't seen in the NFL like that, we really looked like a college out there. I mean, we have our own band n shyt. We didn't need to be known for being extra cheesy. Mask/paints n shyt, thats not what sticks out out us. We teaching the rest of the league who the best fans in football really are :salute: HTTR
I didnt understand how the Redskins/Cowboys dont make it because it isnt relevant in today's NFL, yet Raiders/Steelers make it to [URL=http://www.the-coli.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=2]#2 [/URL] because of 10 years. :snoop:

I'm sure weirdo nikkaz like TreeHuggin would probably watch that shyt :russ:
