The Media Chart for Sept. 16: Football Dominates During NFL's Opening Week

The Media Chart is a weekly look at what's topping the rankings and the ratings.

Football continues to dominate viewers' attention. The NFL season officially kicked off last week, with the first Thursday night game of the season between Carolina and Denver topping the chart. Sunday night's game between New England and Arizona landed at No. 2. And the NCAA game between Ole Miss and Florida State on ESPN was the most-watched cable program for the week.

TNT said goodbye to "Rizzolie & Isles" after seven seasons last week, with the finale landing as No. 2 among all cable programs for the week.
