NFL Week 6 holds No. 1 at 85.5, up from 83.3, on the biggest Sunday of the season. CBS’s late window, Bills–Raiders in most of the country, averaged 26.37 million; Cowboys–Packers drew 24.66 million on Sunday Night Football, NBC’s largest audience of the year; Bills–Rams did 19.8 million across five networks on Monday night, the most-watched Monday game of the season; and Seahawks–Broncos drew 16.27 million on Prime Video, a Week 6 Thursday record. FOX’s singleheader did 14.48 million, CBS’s early window 14.29 million and Texans–Jaguars from London 6.39 million. Seven national windows summed 122.3 million against last week’s 114.4 million, each counted at three hours, with Football Night in America riding the same line at its own length. College Football Week 7 holds No. 2 (51.1, from 46.0) on a Saturday with three games above 8 million: Ohio State–Indiana gave FOX 10.38 million at noon, Notre Dame–BYU drew 9.16 million in ABC primetime and Alabama–Tennessee 8.10 million at 3:30; fifteen national windows summed 53.5 million.
The Brewers sweep, Netflix stacks three debuts, and 60 Minutes rides the overrun. The League Championship Series climbs from No. 4 to No. 3 (47.6, from 25.4) on a full week of games: the Brewers swept the Dodgers with 7.04 million for Game 2, 6.74 million for Game 3 and 6.36 million for Thursday’s clincher, the most-watched NLCS since 2015, while Guardians–Rays ran five games from 5.14 million on a football-free Tuesday down to 2.21 million for a 1pm Thursday start; the Division Series, No. 3 last week, is over. Below holds US No. 1 on Netflix and rises to No. 4 (19.1) on 21.2 million views, Animals holds the film list at No. 8 on 30.8 million, and three new titles land: Love Is Blind’s Boston season at No. 9 (15.7), The Diplomat’s fourth season at No. 15 on a Thursday drop and the Mike Tyson documentary TYSON at No. 19; East of Eden slips from No. 11 to No. 22 and Mojo Brookzz’s special leaves the US top 10. Carrie holds Prime Video No. 1 all seven days and climbs from No. 20 to No. 6 (17.2). With NBC’s late night dark and The Daily Show off, Jimmy Kimmel had the week to himself at 2.79 million and rises to No. 10 (15.6). On broadcast, 60 Minutes jumps from No. 42 to No. 14 (13.0) on 9.57 million behind the Bills–Raiders overrun, Marshals rises to No. 13 on 7.04 million with the same lead-in, Sheriff Country climbs from No. 49 to No. 28, Dancing with the Stars hits a season-high 6.59 million at No. 18 and the Halloween catalog puts Hocus Pocus at No. 32 and The Nightmare Before Christmas back at No. 27. Street Fighter opened to $30.8 million and is new at No. 21 (12.3); Nathan Fielder’s You Can See Everything took $15.6 million on 855 screens and is new at No. 44. Music carries three entries against four last week: Olivia Rodrigo at No. 16, Ella Langley at No. 40 and Drake at No. 45, while Taylor Swift falls off from No. 30 as the Encore tracks settle to 15.6 million streams across five songs.
On the numbers. The football and baseball entries are floors: windows without a published audience are not counted, and this week that includes The OT, ESPN’s Monday studio shows and the college pregame shows. The three morning shows are not scored this week because Nielsen’s weekly figures for the week of October 12 had not been published when the chart was made; they return when they are. The three evening newscasts are scored on Nielsen’s Monday-through-Thursday averages multiplied across the five nights they aired, because Friday was retitled on all three networks. Four Netflix entries are capped at the title’s own published global hours where the US rank curve would have exceeded them, and say so in their entries.
