LOS ANGELES: Nearly 125 million US viewers tuned in to watch the Seattle Seahawks crush the New England Patriots in Sunday’s Super Bowl, making it the second-most-watched show in US history, according to NBC Sports data released on Tuesday.
The Seahawks’ 29-13 victory over the Patriots averaged 124.9 million viewers on the NBC network, as well as on the streaming service Peacock and Spanish-language broadcaster Telemundo and on NFL+, NBC Sports said, citing Nielsen data.
The league’s national championship game ranked just behind last year’s Super Bowl matchup on Fox, in which the Philadelphia Eagles trounced the Kansas City Chiefs. That competition averaged a record 127.7 million viewers, according to Nielsen.
