Patriots vs. Colts was the most-watched program in primetime for the week with both total audience and adults 18-49 leading to even more Bill Belichick second-guessing — not that any more was needed. Though ESPN has made a cottage industry out of second guessing coach Belichick this week, the numbers were on coach Belichick’s side!
Weekly cable show ratings and overnight broadcast show ratings are also available.
