The 126 million viewers brought by the NFL are not just flashy people, but also the highest television rating the league has ever seen in a “big game.” Previous records were held by the 2024 edition of the Super Bowl.
According to the first figures, the second quarter peaked at 8pm to 8:15pm, with the Super Bowl peaking with 135.7 million viewers. And it wasn't just the TV that sparked the NFL, but it also brought crazy numbers on streaming. The NFL Digital Properties combined with Tubi led to a total of 14.5 million viewers, with 13.6 million viewers viewing through Tubi.

It's hilarious that some people are giving Kendrick Lamar's credibility for rating hikes. Never mind the fact that people wanted to see a flashy Eagle Steam Saquon Berkley Kendrick played a big role in preventing the Chief from making three pieces. (lmao)
Yes, I'm sure America was lined up to see what was also shattered by hip-hop's own Joe Badden.
When Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl set leaked, Joe Budden completely destroyed it, thinking it was a fake. I came and found it, and it was true. 😳
