Tyler Golden/NBC

With NFL preemptions in New Orleans, NBC's final ratings for Monday night are subject to change -- though the network is not in any danger of losing its edge with adults 18-49. Fast affiliate numbers give the two-hour episode of The Voice a 4.5 rating among adults 18-49, a six percent drop from last week's Monday outing. At 10 p.m., Revolution (2.9 adults rating) led the hour but was down a tenth of a point to a season low. NBC averaged 4.0 rating with the key demo and 10.7 million viewers.
