"Detroit Rams" fans helped make the metro area the number two market for Super Bowl viewership Sunday, accord to data from Nielsen.
Only Cincinatti, whose Bengals were facing off against Stafford and Los Angeles, had a larger percentage of viewers than Detroit. LA, the Rams' home since a stadium beef prompted the owner to leave St. Louis, didn't even crack the top 10 of 44 markets Nielsen tracks.
The rankings were as follows:
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 44.0/75
6. Cleveland 44.0/78
8. Boston 42.6/74
9. Philadelphia 42.3/71
10. Jacksonville 41.3/73
NBC's telecast drew 112 million viewers across all platforms — the best showing for a Super Bowl in five years.
