Quote:
The New Orleans Saints-Dallas Cowboys nail-biter was the best-rated Thanksgiving game on Fox in 15 years, according to ratings information supplied by the network.

Saints fans celebrate Thanksgiving with the team during the game between the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints at Cowboys Stadium on Thursday, November 25, 2010.

Won by the Saints, 30-27, the game had a 21 percent larger TV audience than last year’s turkey-day game day (Green Bay vs. Detroit) on Fox. Its 14.7 rating – with each rating point representing 1 percent of total U.S. households – approached the 15.0 rating scored by the 1995 game between the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions.

Among local affiliates, New Orleans’ WVUE-Channel 8 led the nation with a 38.9 rating (with each local rating point representing 6,360 households) and a gigantic 68 share (percentage of viewership among sets in use).

According to on-site reports in Dallas, New Orleans fans representing several more local rating points attended the game.

Next-highest markets were San Antonio (27.5/54) and Dallas (26.7/62).
