No doubt due to the snow storm that blanketed most of the Buffalo area, the Buffalo Bills 13-7 victory against the Indianapolis Colts received the second-highest local ratings for a regular season game since 2000. Apparently, most Western New Yorkers decided they’d rather stay indoors and watch Bills football en masse instead of shovel, as the game pulled in an average Nielson rating of 46.7 and managed to peak as high as 53.7.
The highest-rated Bills game since 2000 was another snow game, a Dick Jauron engineered 8-0 loss to the Cleveland Browns in 2007.
