      Did they have one of the players catch the ball with his butt? If not, then no, it did not have everything. I can't remember which game it happened in, but it was hilarious.

        That would not be on a list of things I'd ask for

        More to the point of the thread: Super Bowl Ratings Slip To 8-Year Low As Eagles Score Historic Win. Yet in the article

        Dipping by a slight 3% from the earliest numbers of last year’s Patriots’ 34-28 comeback over the Atlanta Falcons, the Eagles winning big game is the looking to be the sixth highest rated Super Bowl ever.

        I'm always still in trouble again

          Yeesh... that article is hard to follow.

          ...for the NFL and broadcasters pummeled with double-digit ratings drops this season, the number that really matters right now is the 47.4/70 in metered market ratings that yesterday’s Super Bowl delivered. Dipping by a slight 3% from the earliest numbers of last year’s Patriots’ 34-28 comeback victory over the Atlanta Falcons, Sunday’s game is looking to be the sixth highest-rated Super Bowl ever. With more streaming options than ever this year, last night’s game is up 9% in metered market results compared with when the Patriots and Eagles last clashed in the NFL title game, at Super Bowl XXXIX in 2005.

          However, Sunday’s Super Bowl also saw a decline of 5% in metered market results from the last time NBC had the big game on February 1, 2015, when the Patriots faced off against then-champs the Seattle Seahawks. Overall, last night’s game peaked in the high-stakes fourth quarter with a 52.2/74.

          All in all, Super Bowl LII is currently the lowest rated since Super Bowl XLIV in 2010, when the New Orleans Saints thrashed the Indianapolis Colts on CBS. That first Super Bowl appearance and win for the Saints garnered a 46.4 in metered market ratings.

          So it's the sixth highest-rated Super Bowl ever, it's up 9% over the 2005 Super Bowl, but it declined 5% since the last time the big game was on NBC in 2015, and it's the lowest rated Super Bowl since 2010.

          What I'm getting from this is that even the Super Bowl couldn't pull the NFL out of its season-long ratings slump.

            The problem is those numbers simply don't add up. There is no possible way for it to be the sixth highest rated ever AND the lowest in 8 years.
            What I'm getting from this is that even the Super Bowl couldn't pull the NFL out of its season-long ratings slump.
            I'm getting the exact opposite. The regular season numbers were down rather more than 3%.

            The consensus around the office is that it was a very good game, without the on-field controversy many feared over officiating, and that it therefore saved the season.

              I think the 3% reference was in comparison with last season's Super Bowl not regular season numbers (which were down much further from last year).

                Correct.

                    I caught the one guy giving credit to "My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ".... that was worth seeing!
                    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                      I'll have to ask my dad which game that was in, because it was hilarious. Your reaction to my description is funny as well. You can stop worrying by the way, he still had his pants on when it happened.

                        Kind of like the technicality in pro sumo that if the mawashi comes all the way off, that wrestler* loses. Fortunately, it doesn't really happen.** Typically IF the belt begins to get loose, the referee catches it, calls a pause, and then tightens/re-ties it as needed.



                        *and everyone else, too
                        **there is only one isolated incident in recent history of which I'm aware, and it's a number of years ago now.
