The fall finales for ABC Thursday dramas “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Station 19” and “Big Sky” were no match for the NFL on Fox Thursday night, according to Nielsen’s time-zone adjusted data. But neither was any other primetime TV program.
The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Los Angeles Chargers in overtime, 34-28. The game had huge implications for the AFC West standings, and the AFC playoff picture overall.
Fox was first in ratings with a 4.1 rating in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 16.3 million. Those numbers have been adjusted for the different time zones and count both the Chiefs-Chargers game and it pre-kickoff show.
