NFL ratings: Broncos-Steelers draws biggest preseason number for FOX since 1999

Sports Media Watch | Sept. 2, 2010 7:01 a.m.
Chris Schneider, AP Photo"NBC's Sunday Night Football may have taken the week off, but FOX still scored with preseason NFL action Sunday night," Sports Media Watch writes, adding, "Sunday's Steelers/Broncos NFL exhibition game drew a 6.8 overnight rating on FOX, down seven percent from Bears/Broncos on NBC in Week 3 of last year's preseason (7.3) and down six percent from Vikings/49ers on NBC last Sunday night (7.2). Despite the decline, the 6.8 overnight is tied as the highest for an NFL preseason game on FOX since '99."
