By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 12/10/2007 8:56:00 AM

Football dominated the Nielsen Media Research ratings Sunday night, with CBS winning the night with a 4.1 rating/10 share thanks in part to a huge National Football League overrun from 7 p.m.-7:30 p.m. (8.1/22).

NBC was second with a 3.8/9 for its Indianapolis Colts at Baltimore Ravens contest.

ABC was third on the night with a 3.3/8, led by Extreme Makeover with a 4.4/10 from 8 p.m/-8 p.m. Oprah Winfrey special For One More Day averaged a 3.2/8 from 9 p.m.-11 p.m.

Fox averaged a 2.9/7 with a mix of repeats and originals.

The CW was fifth with a 0.5/1, also for a mix of repeats and originals.
