144. Super Bowl Ratings Hit 10-Year Low In Historic NFL Game & Patriots' Win

Mon Feb 4, 2019, 01:55 PM

Feb 2019

<snip>

"The New England Patriots’ 13-3 victory over the Los Angeles Rams last night wasn’t the most exciting Super Bowl ever played by any measure, but the 2019 NFL championship game was sure one for the history books.

First of all, in the Patriots’ third consecutive visit to Super Bowl, the matchup in Atlanta on Sunday was the lowest scoring Super Bowl ever, a dubious honor at best. The record had been held by Super Bowl VII, which saw the Miami Dolphins best the Washington Redskins 14-7 on January 14, 1973."

<snip>

"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 more than 5% from Super Bowl LII February 4, 2018 on NBC in the first round of ratings. On a larger playing field and amidst a call for a boycott of the game due to the league’s “racist” treatment of Colin Kaepernick, Sunday’s metered market result is the worst the Super Bowl has done in the early numbers since the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Arizona Cardinals on February 1, 2009."
