NEW YORK (AP) -- The Cowboys' upset of the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks drew a huge television audience.
FOX's national broadcast window Sunday, in which most viewers saw the Dallas-Seattle game, averaged a 17.4 rating and 32 share. The network said Wednesday that was its highest regular-season rating since a 17.6/30 in December 2011, when the Green Bay Packers improved to 12-0 with a last-second win over the New York Giants.
The 30 million viewers were the most for any program since the Academy Awards in March.
