WEST POINT, N.Y. - The 116th Army-Navy Game presented by USAA on Saturday pulled in its highest rating in 19 years with a 5.1 overnight rating on CBS, which was announced by the network on Sunday.
The game earned a preliminary average national household rating/share of 5.1/10, up 13% from last year's 4.1/10 and peaked at a 6.3 rating from 6:30-7 p.m. It was the highest rating since Army defeated Navy in 1996 in Philadelphia.
The 5.1 was also tied as the ninth-highest for any college football game this year, matching Michigan State's last-second win over Michigan in October.
