NETWORK FINALS:  SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL adjusted to 8.1, down 0.6 from last week’s game, but still a high number for the season.  In addition, football adjustments dropped 60 MINUTES half a point in final numbers, while ELEMENTARY didn’t have the NFL to blame for a 0.2 fall after NCIS: LA and MADAM SECRETARY remained unchanged.  Local football overruns may also have hit FOX’s BREAKTHROUGH PRIZE, down 0.2.
