NBC's Football Tops Sunday Ratings THR

NBC's "Sunday Night Football" was the top-rated show of Sunday, according to The Hollywood Reporter, while CBS' "Amazing Race" finale and ABC's "Brothers & Sisters" reached season highs in the Nielsens.

Preliminary ratings for NBC's Vikings vs. Cardinals game showed 18.2 million total viewers and a 6.8 rating among adults 18 to 49. Fox, which was boosted by an NFL overrun and the "BCS Selection Show," was good for second place despite airing only animated repeats later in the evening, the Reporter says.
