Unofficial yet, just estimates, but here you go.

 

Counting the numbers of people who watched after the fact on YouTube is not how TV ratings work, my friend. 

As it happened, live, the numbers are quite different. 

How many people saw JFK assassinated live on TV? A couple hundred thousand. How many people have seen it after the fact? Hundreds of millions.

I'm certain the numbers will be down year-over-year once the TV ratings come out.

I mean honestly even though the superbowl and the halftime sucked as for as the nfl is concerned and all they care about is money makes sense to them.  They have the current nfl fans mostly american non spanish speaking and thats not really gonna change nfl fans are going to watch the superbowl and the nfl it just doesnt change.  What they dont have is the spanish speaking market, they tend to prefer other sports.  However put a huge spanish speaking performer on for the halftime show and the nfl can draw in the spanish fans and just keep making more and more money.  Still doesnt change that it and the superbowl was horrible but I at least understand why the nfl went that route.  I joke about kpop for the next superbowl halftime show but would really increase the asian viewership for the superbowl so I could kinda see it.

The 2025 Super Bowl holds the record for most live viewers at 127.7M (until last night's numbers are posted).

The 1982 Super Bowl holds the highest household TV rating at 49.1.

The NFL has a contract with RocNation (owned and operated by Jay Z) to manage the Super Bowl halftime show since 2019. He selects the performers, assists with the production and handles everything about the show. 

If people have a problem with the halftime show, yelling at the sky (NFL) is not who they need to speak with.

The NFL can change who they employ as their Super Bowl halftime overseers.  It's not like this partnership is set in stone.

I’ve said that something was significantly off when we played New England back in September. I think we just had an ass game. We went toe to toe with the Rams twice and performed about the same level against the Seahawks that the Patriots did. That’s promising going into next year.

So the next time the NFL seeks RFPs, go for it.

Apparently, the NFL has no issues with the partnership, although, it's obvious some fans do.

But, if people are honestly basing their decision whether or not to watch a football game depends on the halftime show, there's not much left to say.

The Pats have a big conundrum with Will Campbell. Unless he was dealing with a seriously limiting injury issue in the playoffs he ain't an NFL LT. The Pats gave up 29 QB pressures in the playoffs, the most ever. Will Campbell gave up 14 pressures last night, the most by any OL in any game this season and the most in a playoff game in nearly a decade. To put that in perspective, Mike Remmers was credited with 7 pressures allowed in SB50.

He might have to kick inside to OG.

Not sure I have ever seen a lineman look so weak as a Campell looked yesterday. Dude got bullrushed and pushed backwards 5+ yards on like half of the pass plays.

Yeah, he got absolutely dog walked last night. Just no other way to frame it.

We all still talk about how awful Remmers was in SB50 and Campbell gave up twice as many pressures last night as Remmers did in that game. Honestly, it's gotta go down as one of the all-time worst individual OL performances in SB history. He was so awful throughout the playoffs that unless there was an injury reason behind it, I don't see how they can continue forward with him at LT.
