NEW YORK -- The Olympics in their final week were still golden for NBC. Once again, NBCs nightly prime-time averages took the weeks top seven Nielsen slots. And NBC again left rival networks far behind in overall viewership.But a drop in Olympics viewers compared to the previous week was notable.So was the drop in TV viewership between the final seven nights of the Rio Olympics compared to four years ago at the London Games.Consider the erosion from 29.1 million for the London Olympics 12th night, compared to 20.7 million for the same night (last Wednesday) in Rio. Or Rios 17 million viewers for Sundays closing ceremony, compared to 31 million for London.Since 2012, viewers have gained new options and new screens for enjoying the Rio Olympics. The result: As a TV event, it clearly wasnt the same as its been in past years.Nor, for whatever reasons, was it even the same sort of TV event it had been the week before. Week-to-week audiences dropped every night, most precipitously Tuesday (down 9.3 million from the previous Tuesday), Thursday (down by 9.5 million), Saturday (down by 10.1 million) and Sundays closing ceremony (down 9.8 million from the previous Sundays competition).Even so, NBC retained the weekly ratings crown, sweeping the Top 10 with seven Olympics slots (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday and Saturday), an Olympics-themed special, Rio Gold, which ranked eighth, and The Voice and Superstore.Though down from last weeks average of 28.2 million viewers, NBC led again with an average of 19.9 million, while CBS was a distant runner-up with 3.8 million and ABC with 2.9 million. Spanish-language Univision (with 1.6 million) again topped Fox, which (with 1.39 million) was barely ahead of Telemundo (1.36 million). ION Television drew 1.1 million, followed by CW with 800,000 viewers.Meanwhile, the Olympics-coverage setting again gave NBC a bump in the evening-news contest, which typically finds NBC and ABC neck-and-neck. NBCs Nightly News was decisively on top with 9.8 million viewers, followed by ABCs World News Tonight with 7.8 million. The CBS Evening News had 6.3 million.Among cable networks in prime time last week, Fox News Channel retained its lead with 2.1 million viewers, followed by USA with 1.4 million.For the week of Aug. 15-21, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: Summer Olympic Games (Monday), NBC, 24.2 million; Summer Olympic Games (Tuesday), NBC, 24.1 million; Summer Olympic Games (Thursday), NBC, 21.70 million; Summer Olympic Games (Wednesday), NBC, 20.68 million; Summer Olympic Games (Friday), NBC, 20.1 million; Summer Olympic Games (Sunday Closing Ceremony), NBC, 17.0 million; Summer Olympic Games (Saturday), NBC, 15.4 million; Rio Gold, NBC, 11.5 million; The Voice (Sunday), NBC, 10.3 million; Superstore (Friday), NBC, 9.7 million.---ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co.

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. FRISCO, Texas -- Dez Bryant is questionable for Dallas game against San Francisco, and remorseful about going AWOL on the Cowboys early in the week over fear about his knee injury.The 2014 All-Pro receiver didnt practice all week after sustaining a hairline fracture in a bone in his right knee in last weeks win over Chicago. He was officially listed as questionable Friday.Owner Jerry Jones said on his radio show Friday that an X-ray the night of the game revealed the hairline fracture, and Bryant missed a follow-up MRI on Monday and team meetings Tuesday because he didnt want to get some bad news.Bryant missed seven games last season after breaking his right foot in the opener and also battled ankle and knee issues.Just really didnt want to know what the issue was, Bryant said. I wish I would have done a better job. Like we always do, learn from things and get better. Nobody lost any sleep. Were moving on to San Fran trying to continue to keep progressing in the season.Bryant was injured on a catch on the second play against the Bears when his leg bent awkwardly on the tackle. He returned in the first quarter and caught the first scoring pass of the season for the Cowboys in the fourth quarter of the 31-17 win.While not declaring himself out Sunday, Bryant said he wanted to be cautious because he trusted his teammates to keep winning. Jones said it was a question of pain tolerance and not an issue of whether Bryant could damage the bone worse by playing.The Cowboys (2-1) have won two straight games with rookie quarterback Dak Prescott, double the number of wins they had in 14 games without Tony Romo going back to 2013.dddddddddddd Romo is out after breaking a bone in his back in a preseason game.Dallas lost four straight games without Romo and Bryant early last season after the first of Romos two broken left collarbones.The mentality weve been building since this offseason is tremendous, and I feel like any guy that steps in there if anyone goes down, going to step up and do his job, Bryant said. Thats just something that we build around here.Jones defended Bryant while saying his decision to stay away from the team for two days was not the way wed like to have done it ideally.Hes very genuine, Jones said. And thats why his teammates think of him as they do. Theres probably understanding as to why he would be having kind of an emotional decision as to whether to face the music or not and getting the MRI. Im sure he would kind of like to have it go away.Like Bryant, Pro Bowl left tackle Tyron Smith is listed as questionable after missing practice all week with a back problem. Smiths back tightened up late last week, causing him to miss the Chicago game.Cornerback Orlando Scandrick, nursing injuries to both hamstrings, is questionable after being limited in practice all week. He missed the game against the Bears as well.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler ' ' '
