Sunday's Super Bowl between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs capped off a disappointing financial year for the National Football League by posting the worst viewership for a championship game in 15 years and ratings among the worst ever.
The big game was the first in more than a decade that failed to attract more than 100 million viewers and was the least-watched Super Bowl since 2007, when 93.18 million tuned in to watch the Indianapolis Colts defeat the Chicago Bears. In fact, if the viewership hadn't been buoyed by the largest-ever cohort of 5.7 million online streamers, ratings would have been even worse.
Nielsen Media Research — the firm which handles TV viewership data — was uncharacteristically late in releasing data this time around, causing several to surmise that the delay signaled bad news for the game's figures was forthcoming. It appears they were right.
