Thursday Night Football on CBS reigned supreme in Thursday’s ratings, even beating out the Queen of TV herself, Shonda Rhimes. TNF ratings won out in both adults 18-49 demographic and overall viewers against the Shonda Rhimes new show How to Get Away with Murder.
But don’t get scared that the show has lost its touch already, as far as non-sports shows, the block of Rhimes produced shows, Greys Anatomy (2.4 rating) , Scandal (2.9) and How to Get Away with Murder (2.7) still held down in ratings.
The Thursday night match between AFC East rivals Jets and Patriots, which went down to the wire, commanded a whopping 3.4 ratings share from 8:30 which equaled a peak viewership of 12.48 million. NFL continues to be untouchable with the public.
