| Overnight Rating for Super Bowl Just Shy of Mark |
NEW YORK (AP) -- The overnight rating for the New York Giants' Super Bowl win over New England was less than 1 percent shy of the record tied last year.
New York's 21-17 victory Sunday night on NBC received a 47.8 rating and 71 share, Nielsen Media Research said Monday. It trailed the 47.9/71 overnight for Green Bay's 31-25 victory over Pittsburgh last year on Fox and the 47.9/68 for the Giants' 39-20 win over Denver in 1987.
The game began with a 43.3/69 for the first half hour from 6:30-7 p.m. EST and peaked at a 51.8/73 from 9:30-10 p.m., when the Giants rallied in the fourth quarter.
