Brady/Belichick Bowl VI: The Ratings, and no real surprises here...

From Sports Media Watch:

Overnights are showing Super Bowl LIII to be the lowest-rated Super Bowl in a DECADE.

It is also the fourth straight year the ratings are down for the biggest television event of the year.

44.9 rating, but that's down 5% from last year and 8% from two years ago -- and is the lowest since Cardinals-Steelers ten years ago.

And it appears as if New Orleans may have played a fair factor in it.

New Orleans decided to boycott the game after the Robey-Coleman no-call in the NFC Championship game, and their rating was the lowest that city has ever had for a Super Bowl -- 26.1.

Needless to say, dead last of all the overnighted metered markets.

And Kansas City, also screwed in the AFC title game, went from a 52.2 last year to a 46.4 this year (an 11% drop).
