NBC’s Sunday Night Football telecast between the San Francisco 49ers and the Atlanta Falcons was the second most-watched event of the week, attracting 17.89 million viewers to the Peacock network and scoring a 5.6 share among overall and A25-54 viewers.

Streaming's recent dominance ended in September, with NFL and college football games driving record linear TV viewership gains, according to Nielsen.

1. After a 23-year hiatus, NBC gets back in the NBA business starting tonight with a doubleheader featuring the Thunder at the Rockets at 7:30 p.m. ET and the Warriors at the Lakers at 10 p.m. ET. NBC, which aired the NBA from 1990 to 2002, is entering Year 1 of an 11-year deal with the league.

One of the most highly anticipated features of NBC's opening night was a teased halftime interview between Mike Tirico and Michael Jordan, which was pre-recorded. The former Bulls star hasn't been very involved in media in the decades since his retirement, so his decision to work with NBC was notable.
