Fox-owned WPWR-TV and the NFL Network scored big with Thursday night's telecast of the New Orleans Saints-Chicago Bears game.
Locally, the game scored a combined 25.2 rating on both outlets. In October, WPWR (as a My Network TV affiliate), finished seventh among English-language households in prime-time, behind WCIU-TV's House of Payne and The Bernie Mac Show and CW programming on WGN-TV.
Nationally, the game earned a 6.2 household rating - the second highest rated game this year on the NFL Network.
While play-by-play man Bob Papa was better than Bryant Gumbel, listening to Cris Collinsworth was like listening to nails on a blackboard.
