NBC naturally topped last night’s primetime with “Sunday Night Football,” but Fox gave the network a real (end-around) run for its money.

“The Simpsons” 600th episode, which also happened to be “Treehouse of Horror XXVII,” scored big on the heels of the broadcaster’s late-afternoon ET NFL game.

NBC was first in ratings with a 3.7 rating/12 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 10.6 million, according to preliminary numbers. Part 1 of “Football Night in America” at 7 p.m. ET had a 1.4/5 and 4.6 million viewers. Part 2 at 7:30 got a 2.0/7
