Nielsen Ratings

Sunday Night Football topped the Nielsen ratings in the week leading up to Christmas, with the match-up of Washington and Minnesota leading the way. But even so, it only drew 14.1 million viewers.

NBC's singing competition show Clash of the Choirs drew 8.3 million viewers for all four episodes. Low as those numbers are, the show still beat all six editions of the ABC show Duel. Despite the winner taking home nearly two million dollars, the game show failed todraw more than 7.5 million viewers on each night. The final show, which aired Sunday, had even fewer viewers: only 6.2 million, according to last week's Nielsen ratings.

CBS was once again the highest-rated network for the week, followed by NBC, ABC, Fox, the CW, My Network TV, and ION Television.
