Huge for the league. Doesn't hurt that it was an amazing tightly contested game.

Does anyone else find it weird that so many articles about the championship have a photo of Sad Nonu instead of New England players holding the shield?
We'll have to meme it now.
I wish the article said what the previous record was. Looks like it was 7300+ at the 2021 final. Huge success for the league I think. Has TV viewership been estimated?
Idk I will have to check and see if I can find the #s
According to Sports Media Watch, the final had 269,000 viewers on Fox!
How does that compare to last year’s championship?
Not entirely sure how to read this site, but I think it's saying 281k viewers in 2022. But when you also consider 8k more people watched it live vs televised, I think that's not such a bad drop in the TV viewership.
