The Vikings vs. Saints game delivered the highest-rated NFL regular season overnights in 13 years -- a 17.7 household rating, the biggest since a Broncos vs. 49ers game in 1997. It's also the best-ever rating for an NBC regular season football game. The game's audience was also 28% larger than last year's Opening Kickoff.

In the nationals, the game drew 27.5 million viewers and a 10.7 rating -- "American Idol" levels.

UPDATE: "The Vikings vs. Saints game was the most-watched NFL regular season game on any network in 14 years."
