Super Bowl LVI, a 23-20 Rams victory over the Bengals in Los Angeles, was viewed by an average of 112.3 million viewers, a 14 percent increase over last year’s game, according to NBC. It’s the Super Bowl’s best ratings since Patriots-Falcons drew 113 million viewers on average in 2017.
The game was played at SoFi stadium and featured the home team in the Los Angeles Rams playing there, just as the Tampa Bay Bucs played in Raymond James Stadium last season.
You would think the Super Bowl being in your city and your team would lead to excitement all across the city for Los Angeles, but the viewership tell another story.
Los Angeles didn’t even crack the top ten for local market viewership.
Detroit being second on that list truly shows just how much the city still loves Matt Stafford. He clearly wasn’t getting the love for the team he currently plays for.
