Cotton Bowl gives Fox a ratings win
UPDATED: The Cotton Bowl gave Fox a rare Friday night victory in the ratings.

CBS’ crime block was mostly back in originals, with Medium (6.9 million, 1.4) and CSI: NY (9.4 million, 1.6).
NBC had a repeat and two-hour Dateline (5.5 million, 1.4). CW had repeats.
