The Walking Dead Consumes NFL Again
For the fourth time this year – and third time in the last four weeks – ratings for an episode of “The Walking Dead” have beaten the NFL game that has aired on the same night. This time, the sixth episode [“Consumed”] beat another NFL blowout [Patriots over Colts] – garnering a preliminary 7.3 rating to the NFL’s 6.2 rating in overnight national ratings.
The ratings victory now makes TWD 4-2 against the NFL in the six weeks they have met in head-to-head competition since TWD’s season premiere on October 12, 2014.
