Ratings Analysis: Without the NFL around to lift them up, 'The Equalizer' (0.49, -0.30), 'East New York' (0.37, -0.19), and 'NCIS: Los Angeles' (0.34, -0.09) all crashed to new season lows on CBS. '60 Minutes' (0.61, -0.93) took the largest plunge of them all but avoided hitting a new low. On Fox, 'NFL Overrun' (5.54) and 'The OT' (2.86) helped 'The Simpsons' (1.14, +0.79) jump to its highest rating since the season premiere. 'The Great North' (0.60, +0.34), 'Bob's Burgers' (0.49, +0.20) and 'Family Guy' (0.42, +0.10) also shot up but all three trailed their previous football-boosted episodes. 'America's Funniest Home Videos' (0.42, +0.03), 'Celebrity Jeopardy!' (0.47, +0.07), 'Celebrity Wheel of Fortune' (0.38, +0.03), and 'The Rookie' (0.35, +0.02) all ticked up on ABC. This serves as a new season high for 'The Rookie' and a new series high for 'Celebrity Jeopardy!'. NBC's 'Steelers v. Dolphins' NFL game (4.38) was well below last week's 'Cowboys v. Eagles' matchup (5.89). 'Family Law' (0.03, -0.02) and 'Coroner' (0.03, -0.01) slipped on the CW.
