Not only did Fox have afternoon NFL football on Halloween Sunday, it capped the evening off with Game 5 of the 2021 World Series. The Houston Astros stayed alive with a 9-5 victory over the Atlanta Braves, who still lead the series 3-2.
Due to the nature of live sports, the below Nielsen numbers for NBC and Fox should be considered subject to significant adjustment. Final figures should be in on Tuesday.
For now, Fox was first in ratings with a 3.1 rating in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 14.2 million, according to preliminary numbers.
