Ratings: Bengals' Wild Card Playoff Win Draws 21 Million+, Critics Choice Dips
In the latest TV ratings, NBC’s broadcast of the Cincinnati Bengals’ AFC Wild Card playoff win over the Baltimore Ravens averaged 21.2 million total viewers and a 5.6 demo rating — dominating Sunday night in all measures, of course, though down a tick from the year-ago prelim numbers for the comparable Steelers/Chiefs match-up.
Over on CBS, East New York (5.1 mil/0.4) and NCIS: Los Angeles (4.5 mil/0.3) both dipped in the demo, with the latter matching its series low (set back on Oct. 23). NCIS: LA, though, is looking at its best audience since Oct. 30.

The Live+Same Day numbers reported in our ratings column do not reflect a show’s overall performance, given the increased use of delayed playback via DVR and streaming platforms, plus out-of-home viewing. These numbers (Nielsen fast nationals, unless denoted as finals) instead aim to simply illustrate trends or superlatives.
