"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The overnight television rating for Sunday night's game between the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints was 39 percent larger than the rating for Game 5 of the World Series between the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals, according to NBC Sports.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That is the largest disparity among the five instances in which a \"Sunday Night Football\" game was broadcast at the same time as a World Series game, NBC said. FOX has carried this year's&amp;nbsp;coverage of the World Series, while NBC airs the Sunday night NFL games.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The rating for the Packers-Saints game was a season-low for Sunday Night Football. Meanwhile, according to Austin Karp of SportsBusiness Daily, the Giants 5-0 win over the Royals was the lowest recorded rating for a World Series Game 5.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Saints defeated the Packers 44-23 to move to 3-4 on the season. The Giants got a complete game shutout pitching performance from Madison Bumgarner to take a 3-2 lead in the Fall Classic.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Game 6 of the World Series is Tuesday night in Kansas City and a Game 7 would be on Wednesday, avoiding a head-to-head conflict with Thursday's NFL matchup between the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;DEITSCH:&amp;nbsp;Media Circus: A new era for ESPN's&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;NBA&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; Countdown&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Chris Johnson&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u200B\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
