ABC settled for fourth station in TV ratings on Sunday,with lackluster starts for “Quantico” and “Once Upon a Time.” While “Secrets & Lies” didn’t fairly execute it either, that debut at least fared fine internally for the tough time slot.
NBC easily finished first last night, or thanks to “Sunday Night Football.” CBS was runner-up with an NFL overrun — the rest of its shows reaped the benefits.
Fox bested ABC in the key 18-49 demographic,though their spots were reversed among total viewers.
