Last night's ESPN Monday Night Football game (8:15-11:30 p.m. ET) - a Philadelphia Eagles 30-27 last-second victory over the Indianapolis Colts - helped ESPN win the night among all networks - broadcast or cable - in households, viewers and all key male and adult demos. The MNF game also ranked as the top telecast of the night across cable and broadcast in those same categories.

In Philadelphia, the game delivered a 16.3 rating on ESPN and a 13.7 on WPHL-IND, for a combined 30.0 rating in the market. In Indianapolis, the game delivered a 14.7 rating on ESPN and a 21.2 on WRTV-ABC, for a combined 35.9 rating in the market.
