NBC’s telecast of the win or go home clash between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys Sunday night drew the highest prime time overnight rating in 13 years, according to the network.

NBC’s broadcast of the Eli Manning and the Giants’ 31-14 win over Tony Romo’s Cowboys pulled a 17.1 overnight rating, up 36% from last season’s comparable Week 17 win-and-in game between the St. Louis Rams and Seattle Seahawks.

The 17.1 is the highest prime time overnight rating for any Sunday night or Monday night football game in 13 years. And the highest overnight in the 6-year history of NBC’s Sunday Night Football.

The number surpassed SNF’s previous high of a 16.9 for Cowboys-New York Jets in Week 1. Dallas led all markets with a 37.1 overnight rating. The New York market ranked 4th with a 25.3 rating.
