NEW YORK � Television ratings for NFL games are off to a strong start this season.
Fox has posted its highest average rating for the first three weeks since the network started televising the league in 1994. Fox said Thursday that it�s averaging an 11.2 rating and 24 share, up 23 percent from the same period last year.

Earlier this season, the Giants-Cowboys Sunday night game on NBC drew the highest rating for any prime-time regular-season game since 2000.
Ratings represent the percentage of all households with televisions tuned into a program, and shares represent the percentage of all homes with TVs in use at the time.
