The Super Bowl overnight television ratings hit a 10-year low, and the game didn’t rate as well in Kansas City as previous Super Bowls.
Kansas City’s 46.4 rating topped the national number of 44.9 for the New England Patriots’ 13-3 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on CBS. Kansas City was 20th of the top 56 markets.
Last year, Kansas City ranked 10th with a 52.2 rating for the Philadelphia Eagles’ victory over the Patriots.
The biggest drop in one market belonged to New Orleans. Saints fans turned their back on the game, pledging to not watch after a controversial no-call that went against their team helped pave the way for the Rams’ victory in the NFC Championship Game.
