Ratings: ‘Quantico’ Continues to Plummet as NFL Dominates Sunday Night
“Quantico” hit a new series low in the ratings on Sunday night, the second time it has done so in as many weeks.
The Priyanka Chopra-led ABC series registered just 2.8 million viewers and a 0.7 rating in the key demo in its 10 p.m. time slot. Granted, the show faced stiff competition with “Sunday Night Football” on NBC, but the show has also been down in almost all key measures every week since Season 2 premiered.
NBC finished first for the night with 13 million viewers and a 4.6 rating, airing only the NFL matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and the Arizona Cardinals in primetime.

CBS came in second with 12.6 million viewers and a 2.3 rating. The NFL game between the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers delayed the primetime block on the network, so the numbers are approximate for now. At 8:30, “NCIS: Los Angeles” averaged 11.4 million viewers and a 1.7 rating. “Madam Secretary” averaged 8.9 million viewers and a 1.1 rating in the key demo. “Elementary” averaged 5.5 million viewers and a 0.8 rating at 10:30.
