Super Bowl Ratings Hit 10-Year Low
Apparently we weren't the only ones who weren't watching.
Super Bowl Ratings Hit 10-Year Low In Historic NFL Game & Patriots’ Win https://deadline.com/2019/02/super-b...bs-1202548893/ The 13-3 win for the New England Patriots over the Los Angeles Rams last night wasn’t the most exciting Super Bowl ever played by any measure, but the 2019 big NFL game was sure one for the history books. First of all, in the Patriots’ third consecutive visit to Super Bowl, the match-up in Atlanta on Sunday was the lowest scoring Super Bowl ever, a dubious honor at best. The record was previously held by Super Bowl VII, which saw the Miami Dolphins best the Washington Redskins 14-7 on January 14, 1973. Secondly, Patriots’ quarterback Tom Brady is now the first NFL player to win six Super Bowl rings with this latest triumph for the Massachusetts team. With this sixth Super Bowl win for the Patriots, the 41-year old Brady also has been in nine Super Bowls over his career, more than any other NFL player ever – which is not a record to scoff at in any way. However, when it comes to ratings, Super Bowl LIII is not one anyone’s going to want to brag about. Shown on CBS for the first time since 2016 and with ad spots going for around $5 million each, the Rams’ loss scored a 44.9/68 in metered market results. To put that in the starkest light of day, that’s a dip of just over 5.2% from the big NFL battle of February 4, 2018 on NBC in the first round of ratings. On a larger playing field, that metered market result for yesterday’s game is the worst the Super Bowl has done in the early numbers since the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Arizona Cardinals on February 1, 2009. A very tight and seamlessly flowing offering from the network, yesterday’s Super Bowl is also down a bit over 8% from the metered markets of the last time CBS had the game three years ago. Super Bowl 50 saw the Denver Broncos top the Carolina Panthers 24-10 on February 7, 2016 in a gridiron clash that eventually resulted in 111.9 million viewers and the honor at the time of being the third most watched show in U.S. TV history. The lowest rated Super Bowl in eight years in the early metrics, last year’s Philadelphia Eagles’ victory 41-33 over the Patriots ended up with 103.4 million viewers, a nine-year low – so far. Last night’s post-game premiere of James Corden-fronted reality series The World’s Best pulled in a 14.0 in the metered markets according to Nielsen numbers this morning. While unscripted apples to dramatic oranges, that’s a drop of almost 14% from the special Super Bowl episode of NBC’s This Is Us that aired after last year’s Eagles’ win. No surprise for such a low scoring game that didn’t see a single touch down for ages, Super Bowl LIII peaked near the end with a 47.3 in metered markets in the 9:30-10 PM ET slot. As we now turn our gaze to Super Bowl LIV set for next year in Miami, we’ll update with more Super Bowl LIII numbers, including that tepid Maroon 5 halftime show and The World’s Best debut later, as more data comes in. As we have done in the past, let’s put the latest Super Bowl in greater perspective by checking out the Top 5 Super Bowl metered market ratings ever – a list that this year’s game is certainly not a part of: 1) 2015: 49.7 – Super Bowl XLIX: New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks (NBC) 2) 2016: 49.0 – Super Bowl 50: Denver Broncos vs. Carolina Panthers (CBS) 3) 2017: 48.8 – Super Bowl LI: New England Patriots vs. Atlanta Falcons (Fox) 4) 2013: 48.1 – Super Bowl XLVII: Baltimore Ravens vs. San Francisco 49ers (CBS) 5) 2011: 47.9 – Super Bowl XLV: Green Bay Packers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (Fox) |

First Superbowl I haven’t watched since I was a kid. Looks like I didn’t miss much. Played some AC Odyssey instead.

You mean fans are starting to tire of the NFL's love affair with Robert Kraft and the Patriots? A lot of people took a knee and didn't tune in. Especially after that non-call in that NFC Championship Game and the Patriots getting all the calls like always. People are starting to realize it's scripted.

I watched the game, but honestly, I was playing my mobile game right before halftime and even moreso deep into the 3rd quarter.
I think most everyone is sick of the Patriots year-in and year-out. If they were likeable and/or easy to root for (i.e. the Packers), I wouldn't mind them being in the game as much as they are. And yeah, the Pats fans aren't going to care and rightfully so: I mean, hell, I could give two shits less if people bitch about the Chiefs being in "over and over". But no, the Patriots hail from the douchiest city on the map and field a bunch of chodes. The NFL deserved this stinker. |

You guys that are Law & Order Jerry Orback fans should watch Lt. Joe Kenda on ID channel. He's the real deal, talks about all the criminals and punks he put in jail during his years as a detective.
I didn't see any good commercials, except maybe the Dude ordering a Stella Artois. Skipped the halftime completely. It was the worse Super Bowl I've ever watched, in fact, it was one of the worse football games plain and simple. BORING!! |

I think I actually saw a Futurama episode that I had missed. I put the game on for a few minutes and then I'm waking up from a nap and the game is over. The Rams were pathetic.

It was awful. Boring as hell. The league needs to start actually calling penalties on the Pats. They never get any. One last night. That would make 2 in 2 games. Thats complete bullshit.

So, 4 of the 5 Superbowls from 2013 to 2017 were top 5 ever. 2019 was lowest in over a decade. Not to mention, ratings and viewership were up this season, with the Chiefs Rams game being the highest. It is plain to see that the NFL put on one of the worst matchups imaginable, and they paid the price for it. Hopefully, next year, the Superbowl has an exciting matchup like the Chiefs and Packers or something like that and they set records for viewership
