A half-hour NFL Overrun, which featured the heavily hyped matchup between the Patriots and Colts powered CBS to a strong household and viewer win for the evening. The increased viewership also helped the network’s lineup post impressive week-to-week gains and a great start to the new season of The Amazing Race.

However, NBC still managed to win the evening among adults 18-49, and ABC and Fox both stayed competitive for viewers in the demo.

My full analysis follows after the jump.

ABC ‘Dances’ its way to first place for the evening as the network gets week-to-week improvements from its entire lineup.

New NBC shows Chuck and Journeyman continue to fade slowly, while season two of Heroes has yet to rebound in overall audience, but is still rating strongly among adults 18-49.
