Overnights also increased 7% over last year’s Patriots/Colts SNF game, which took place in Week 11 (13.6). Yet, it was not the top NFL telecast of the day, trailing the national window on CBS (15.5) — which featured the always popular Green Bay Packers victory over the San Diego Chargers. This is the fifth straight week the late doubleheader window has topped ‘Sunday Night Football’. Locally for ‘SNF’, Boston was the top market with a 44.6 rating, its highest on record for a Patriots SNF game.

ESPN Gets Out Of British Open Coverage
ESPN is officially out of the British Open business. NBC Sports announced Monday that it has reached agreement with ESPN to acquire next year’s British Open and related events. Terms of the deal were not announced, but NBC will pay ESPN “an unknown fee” according to Sports Business Journal. The addition of next year’s tournament tacks an extra year onto NBC’s rights deal with British Open organizer the R&A, which was to begin in 2017. It also further shortens ESPN’s 2010 deal to air the event, which was originally supposed to run until 2018. The R&A opted out of the 2017 tournament as part of the agreement with NBC, and now ESPN has opted out of 2016.
