NEW YORK (AP) - The Super Bowl Champion Packers continue to
compete with the Dallas Cowboys for the mantle of America's Team --
at least when measured by prime time ratings. Thursday night's NFL
season opener with the New Orleans Saints at Lambeau Field drew
more than 27 million viewers and was the second highest rated
weeknight program in 13 years. The highest rated regular season
broadcast in that span remains a Monday Night Football game which
Dallas lost at Minnesota in 1999.
