The Cincinnati Bengals are a hit.
That sort of idea didn’t need ratings numbers from Super Bowl LVI as proof, not with the viral sensation guys like Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase and C.J. Uzomah have become in recent weeks.
But those Super Bowl ratings sure don’t hurt, either.
Days after the big game, the NFL announced the Super Bowl was watched by 112.3 million viewers, a dramatic leap and the biggest number in recent years.
And the biggest local market rating of all? First place belonged to Cincinnati. The Los Angeles local market didn’t make the top 10.
Burrow and Co. haven’t just revived a longstanding football city — they’ve become a national commodity and continuously proven worthy of a handful of primetime appearances each season.
#SuperBowl local market ratings:
1. Cincinnati 46.1/84
2. Detroit 45.9/79
3. Pittsburgh 45.6/74
4. Columbus 45.4/80
5. Kansas City 44.6/76
6. Milwaukee 44/75
7. Cleveland 44/78
8. Boston 42.6/74
9. Philadelphia 42.3/71
10. Jacksonville 41.3/73
Not in top 10: Los Angeles 36.7/77— Bill Shea (@Bill_Shea19) February 15, 2022
Numbers are in: Super Bowl LVI featuring the #Rams and #Bengals was watched by 112.3 million viewers across all platforms. That’s up 14% over last year’s Super Bowl.
The NFL finishes a strong season with another massive number. What a year.🏈 👑
