Lowest rated SB in a decade.

I think last nights game may have finally killed my irrational obligation to watch the Super Bowl as a pop culture event.

Same. I realized at some point that I hadn't been paying any attention to the game or the commercials and turned to something else.

I mostly cared just about my squares hitting at the end of each quarter. They did not, which added to watching being a waste of my evening.

Saw an article on ESPN stating this Super Bowl featured the greatest defensive performance in Super Bowl history, really? What about Super Bowl 20? Here's some of what the Bears did to the Patriots - 123 total net yards, 7 yards rushing, sacked 7 times, 6 TO and it wasn't even that close.

not seeing the article, is it possibly both teams combined?

[Brian]

using "percent of scoring average" doesn't seem like the best measure

any slight to the 85 bears is ok with me

 

so tired of most of those idiots

Could care less if was a slight to the Bears or not, meant from a numbers prespective, Super Bowl 53 may not qualify as the greatest defensive performance in Super Bowl history.

I think Edelman being the MVP was an okay choice. Certainly if the award has the go to a single player (though it doesn’t). The NFL would never do it, but I would’ve give it to the Pats entire defense. They basically allowed the Pats to win while only scoring 10 points.

Good thing he’s white or he never would have won coming off PED suspension.

Ray Lewis does not see the point you’re trying to make.

The Los Angeles tv market was lower for the SB than the rest of the country.

The Rams of 2018 - and football teams in 2018 in general - were a horsefeathers ton more difficult to defend than the '85 Patriots.
