Primetime Cable Ratings: September 22, 2016

The Patriots vs Texans game, on NFL Network, was the top cable offering on Thursday night, drawing 3.4 million viewers and a 1.5 rating in Adults 18-49. That is flat from last week's first TNF game of the season, despite a 27-0 blowout by New England.

FOX News takes the next three spots of the chart, averaging 2.3 million viewers in primetime. KELLY and HANNITY both post 0.3 demo ratings, while O'REILLY only gets a 0.2 rating.
