RATINGS RAT RACE: Football Rules Again, 'Boss' Rises & 'CSI: Miami' Transitions

NFL football is expected to once again determine the ratings winner and runner-up on Sunday, with NBC logging another No. 1 finish with Sunday Night Football and Fox taking the silver thanks to a football overrun. But there was good news elsewhere too: CBS' Undercover Boss got a Week 2 ratings bump, the network's veteran crime drama CSI: Miami had a solid debut in its new Sunday 10 PM slot while ABC's lineup held steady week-to-week.
NBC's coverage of the New York Giants' 17-3 victory over the Chicago Bears drew a 14.2 overnight rating/22 share, the best for an NFL primetime game in October since 2000. The network is expected to handily win Sunday night in both adults 18-49 and total viewers, with viewership for the game likely to exceed 20 million.
Without a football overrun-inflated 60 Minutes lead-in, CBS' The Amazing Race (3.3/9) was down 13% from its 2-hour premiere last week. Undercover Boss (4.0/9), which featured its first female CEO last night, was up 5% from last week's debut. At 10 PM, the season premiere of�CSI: Miami (3.2/8) was down 26% from the last season debut in the Monday 10 PM slot but improved the Sunday time period by 52% vs. the season premiere of Cold Case last fall.
