Viewership of the Super Bowl declined again this year. The New England Patriots’ Super Bowl win over the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 53 was seen by 100.7 million viewers, the smallest Super Bowl audience in a decade. The Nielsen company said viewership dropped 3 percent from last year’s 103.4 million. With only 16 total points scored in the defensive struggle, many fans chose to tune out. The Super Bowl is traditionally the most-watched television event of the year in the U.S., but the TV audience has been dwindling since its 2015 peak of 114.4 million viewers.
