Willie Wood, a Hall of Fame defensive back and five-time NFL champion with the Packers, died on Feb. 3. at age 83. He made the first interception in Super Bowl history. … The Super Bowl put a halt to a four-year decline in viewership, with an estimated 99.9 million people watching the Kansas City Chiefs rally to defeat the San Francisco 49ers in what is annually the most-watched television event of the year. The Nielsen company said viewership rebounded slightly from the 98.5 million who watched in 2019. An exciting game that featured a fourth-quarter comeback and two teams that haven’t been in the ultimate game lately most likely helped drive public interest.
