Is America getting tired of seeing the Patriots in the Super Bowl?
Super Bowl LIII pulled an overnight rating of 44.9 nationally, the lowest since 2009's Super Bowl between the Steelers and the Cardinals. For comparison, last year's contest between the Patriots and the Eagles pulled a 47.4 rating, almost 3.5 million more viewers total.
Last five super Bowl overnight ratings:
2019: 44.9 (Pats-Rams, CBS)
2018: 47.4 (Eagles-Pats, NBC)
2017: 48.8 (Pats-Falcons, Fox)
2016: 49.0 (Broncos-Panthers, CBS)
2015: 49.7 (Pats-Seahawks, 49.7) https://t.co/ZCRN73DSpm— Austin Karp (@AustinKarp) February 4, 2019
