Vikings vs. Packers makes cable ratings history

Not only did last night's "Monday Night Football" sack broadcasters in the Nielsens, the Minnesota vs. Green Bay game was the most-watched program in cable history.

A mammoth 21.8 million viewers watched Brett Farve lead the Vikings against his former team, drawing a 9.0 rating among adults 18-49.

The second-most-watched program in cable history was also on ESPN -- last fall's Eagles vs. Cowboys game.
