NEW YORK ( AP) — The overnight rating for the New York Giants’ Super Bowl win over New England was less than 1 percent shy of the record tied last year.

New York’s 21- 17 victory Sunday night on NBC received a 47.8 rating and 71 share, Nielsen Media Research said Monday. It trailed the 47.9/71 overnight for Green Bay’s 31-25 victory over Pittsburgh last year on Fox and the 47.9/ 68 for the Giants’ 39-20 win over Denver in 1987.

The game began with a 43.3/69 for the first half hour from 6: 30- 7 p. m. EST and peaked at a 51.8/73 from 9:30- 10 p.m., when the Giants rallied in the fourth quarter.
