Super Bowl ratings down for first time in 5 years

[High quality poster]

Yeah, I'm hoping Lamar can at least make it to one. Would be dope to see him on that stage.

Another problem was that New England was ahead of schedule. I thought they'd make the playoffs, but I thought they were a couple yrs from Super Bowl contention. A legit #1 receiver would've helped a little, because Diggs ain't that. A better offensive line would've also made the game better. Seattle getting to Maye on a 4 man rush most of the time Maye could've ran more instead of just sittin' back there

Yea, think the world still has NE fatigue. Seeing them make it again was kind of disappointing. Then all the HOF news just made me not even care about the game tbh at least Rams vs Pats would
Have been mvp showdown

It wasn't a sexy matchup and the game wasn't a barn burner. The Seahawks were in control the whole game.

lacked star power and storylines

That don’t matter for the NFL tho ..

It’s the second most watched superbowl of all time meanwhile the nba finals did abysmal numbers until game 7

NFL gon make sure we get a movie next year. Josh Allen v Caleb Williams

I mean, since 2021 you've had:

Rams v Bengals, which would've gotten an increase in ratings just because we weren't deep in COVID like in 2021

Chiefs/Eagles
Chiefs/Niners
Chiefs/Eagles

So you've had star power with big market teams and the Chiefs going for dynasty status.

Not surprising that ratings dropped a bit.

People spent more time shytting on Josh Allen and other quarterbacks than they did caring about this game. We don’t know Drake Maye yet and people barely care about Darnold. I bet the “big name” quarterbacks make it next year

 

[WesCrook]

A lack of Swifties played a part

If Taylor dumped Kelce for Seahawks tight end AJ Barner, viewership would have been different.

I thought ppl were sick of the same teams tho this shoulda been right up their alley

Least hyped SB since 49ers Chargers.

People don't know what they want.

We see the same team(s) making it and people complain about a lack of parity and how they're bored, even if ratings are amazing. Then when we get some fresh teams that may not have established stars people complain about how they're not interested because they don't know anybody.

Black QB's drive ratings

If Caleb made it we would've seen better numbers. Drake Maye is boring.

 

[Spidey Man]

Can't say the same about the halftime show.

 

[Flight]

No Mahomes, Allen or Lamar in the game…

The biggest "star" in the game JSN got injured and miss some time and he's pretty new to being THE guy
Other than that, there's nobody spectacular on offense on either team

Diggs got headlines cause of Cardi

Nobody on either defense is a household name, but there's plenty of good players

Great game from Kenneth Walker tho
