The Greatest Rivalry today deserves a huge audience.

Pats and the New York media market probably drew an even bigger rating today for Pat-Jets - the NFL rules the ratings roost

NFL must be thrilled that a New York team and a team with a nationwide following such as the Steelers will be playing in prime time next Sunday evening
