Same old, same old for the 12 p.m. ET hour of NFL pre-shows on broadcast. Fox NFL Sunday defeated CBS' The NFL Today by a score of 3.5 to 2.8.
CBS (Regional Window)
CBS had a six-way single-header window, featuring the Jets, Ravens, Steelers, Chiefs and Colts, which led the network to some solid numbers. Kansas City led the way with an impressive 44.3 rating for the Chiefs' home game with the Chargers.
The four early games and two late games drove The Eye net to an 11.5 overnight rating, up 9.5 percent from the similar window in 2012.

Fox ("America's Game of the Week" window)
Despite all the ratings success of Peyton Manning and the Saints and the Patriots and the Chiefs, it turned out the highest-rated game of the season would be old fashioned NFC East rivalry, with the Cowboys visiting the Giants. The game hit an 18.9 overnight for Fox, up 14.5 percent from 49ers-Saints last year. Safe to say, CBS shouldn't worry about drawing a big number for Raiders-Cowboys on Thursday.
