SAN DIEGO — Big delay for some reason at San Diego airport.
Some of the early ratings numbers are in for the Broncos’ dramatic 35-24 win against the San Diego Chargers on Monday night.
- In Denver, the game delivered a 15.2 rating on ESPN and a 21.1 rating on KTVD for a combined 36.3 rating in the market
- In San Diego, the game delivered a 14.0 rating on ESPN and a 21.1 rating on KFMB-CBS, for a combined 35.0 rating in the market.
Frankly, I’m surprised Denver didn’t draw a bigger number. I wonder how many people shut the game off at halftime?
The top-10 rated markets: Las Vegas (17.9), New Orleans (16.4), Indianapolis (14.3), Albuquerque, N.M. (13.7), Phoenix (13.0), Birmingham, Ala. (11.6), Charlotte (11.5), Kansas City (11.3), Norfolk/Portsmouth, Va. (11.2) and Seattle (11.0).
Wonder if 50 years from now, the NFL has franchises in Birmingham and Norfolk?
