Fox’s “Thursday Night Football” tanked this week, when the not-good Denver Broncos destroyed the atrocious Arizona Cardinals. Elsewhere, ABC fell from third to fourth place in ratings with no “Grey’s Anatomy” on its primetime schedule.
The lone NFL game on Thursday was so uncompetitive that CBS easily beat Fox in total-viewer averages. Due to the nature of live sports, however, the below fast-national Nielsen numbers for Fox are subject to adjustment.
For now, Fox’s averages dropped 41 percent from last week’s far-better football performance.

Fox was first in ratings with a 2.0 rating in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and second in total viewers with an average of 6.6 million, according to preliminary numbers. Those were all the “Thursday Night Football” averages. The game, which ended up as a 45-10 Denver win, was 35-3 by halftime.
