It wasn't until the second half that Super Bowl 60 got out of hand, but the Seattle Seahawks left no doubt they were the better team on the NFL's biggest stage with their 29-13 win over the New England Patriots.
It was the second consecutive year in which the Super Bowl was decided by more than 15 points and the second consecutive year in which the AFC's representative was shut out in the first half. Nevertheless, viewership was massive.
Between performances from Bad Bunny and Green Day to the intrigue of some new blood in the game after years of Kansas City Chiefs appearances, the NFL brought in a colossal number of viewers once again for Super Bowl 60.
Here's a look at the viewership totals for the Super Bowl and where this year's game ranks all-time.

How many people watched Super Bowl 60?
The exact number of viewers for Super Bowl 60 between the Seahawks and Patriots has not been announced. NBA is expected to reveal that figure in the days after the game.
A year ago, Super Bowl 59 set a new record by averaging 127.7 million viewers despite the game being lopsided in favor of the Eagles. Super Bowl 58 also set a viewership record, bringing in an average of 123.4 million on CBS for an overtime thriller.
While the teams this year didn't necessarily come with the Super Bowl pedigree that the Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles did, at least from a roster standpoint, Super Bowl 60 offered something from everyone, from Bad Bunny and Green Day performances to a new slate of commercials.
