-Ratings Breakdown:
The Houston Texans at the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football led NBC to victory with an estimated 13.7 rating/21 share in the overnights from 8:30-11 p.m. Earlier in the evening was pre-game Football Night in America at a 1.9/ 3 at 7 p.m. (#4), a 2.5/ 4 at 7:30 p.m. (#4) and a 7.0/11 at 8 p.m. (#2). Keep in mind, as always, that results for any live sporting event are approximate.

Football was also beneficial overall to Fox, which scored an estimated 14.4/24 for a primetime football overrun in the 7 p.m. hour. Football on Fox also bled into the 8 p.m. half-hour, which means that the overnight results for The Simpsons (#3t, 6.4/10 at 8 p.m.), Bob’s Burgers (#4: 3.7/ 5 at 8:30 p.m.) and the 200th episode of an expanded Family Guy (#4: 3.7/ 5 from 9-10 p.m.) are approximate.

Over at CBS, older-skewing granddaddy 60 Minutes (which will outlive us all) was on the map with an 8.9/15 in the overnights from 7-8 p.m. Next was Emmy winning The Amazing Race (#2: 6.3/10 at 8 p.m.), which was down by 11 percent year-to-year, followed by scripted dramas The Good Wife (#2: 7.0/10) and relocated The Mentalist (#2: 7.1/12) from 9-11 p.m., which compared to former year-ago occupant CSI: Miami (6.8/11 on 11/13/11) was up by four percent.

On ABC, the 500th episode of veteran America’s Funniest Home Videos (which debuted on January 14, 1990) finished third in the 7 p.m. hour with a 3.6/ 6 -- down by 14 percent from the year-ago evening (4.2/ 7 on 11/13/11). Next was sophomore Once Upon a Time (#3: 5.7/ 9 at 8 p.m.), which dropped by 23 percent from the 7.4/11 one year earlier, followed by an also below-average performance for relocated Revenge (#3: 5.1/ 8) and a series-low 3.3/ 6 for recent entry 666 Park Avenue (#3) from 9-11 p.m.. Comparably, waiting-to-be axed 666 Park Avenue dropped by 25 percent from short-lived year-ago occupant Pan Am (4.4/ 7 on 11/13/11). And Revenge, which was down by 22 percent from former occupant Desperate Housewives (6.5/10 on 11/13/11), is not the hit ABC was hoping for on the evening.
