Thursday night and a lot of people tuned in to watch it happen.John Ourand of Sports Business Journal reports that the game got an overnight rating of 14.6 Authentic Antwaun Woods Jersey , which is the highest overnight rating in the history of Thursday Night Football.Having the Cowboys in a prime time game against a Saints team riding a 10-game winning streak is the sort of thing that you’d expect to spur a good number, but good television ratings aren’t anything new this season. Week 12 saw big gains from last year and the numbers have consistently been up from where they were at similar points in the schedule last year.That’s a welcome change for the league after how much attention was paid to last year’s ratings drop and it’s one that isn’t showing any signs of stopping with the backstretch of the season getting underway. George Andrie, the former Dallas Cowboys defensive end who scored a touchdown in the Ice Bowl game against Green Bay in 1967 Youth Taco Charlton Jersey , has died. He was 78.The Cowboys confirmed the death of Andrie. He died Tuesday at his home in Woodway, Texas. Andrie's family has said he suffered from dementia.Andrie was among the former players who sued the NFL over claims that the league knew repeated head blows could lead to chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a degenerative brain disease. Experts have linked CTE to dementia http://www.cowboysauthorizedshops.com/authentic-leighton-vander-esch-jersey , among other conditions.Andrie was part of the "Doomsday Defense" that included Hall of Famer Bob Lilly and fellow starters Willie Townes and Jethro Pugh. He led the Cowboys in sacks four straight seasons from 1964-67 and was an All-Pro in 1969. That was the last of five straight Pro Bowls, a record for a Dallas defensive end.The temperature was 15 below in Green Bay when the Packers and Cowboys played for a spot in the second Super Bowl. Andrie picked up a fumble by Bart Starr and ran 7 yards for a touchdown with Green Bay leading 14-0. The Packers won 21-17 on Starr's quarterback sneak in the final seconds.Andrie moved back to his native Michigan after his playing days but returned to Texas, where he co-owned a beer distributorship with Lilly in Waco. Andrie played at Marquette Connor Williams Jersey , which dropped football before his final season. He was a sixth-round pick by Dallas in 1962.
