Preliminary Ratings: Sunday 02/05/2017

SUPER BOWL LI was almost a perfect storm for FOX. High scoring, huge comeback, overtime, and a thrilling end. But the middle, of the nigh saw Atlanta build a huge lead, the size that most, if not all viewers thought would be a lock for them to have an easy win. But like we have seen often in the past year, huge leads do not matter and a comeback is almost inevitable.

The prelim numbers have the game drawing just over 100 million viewers and about a third of the total population in each age demographic. The numbers are currently on par with last year's game. It is behind the 2015 game, by about 2%, but above 2014's game, the last time FOX broadcast the Super Bowl.

Because of the overtime, 24: LEGACY did not start until after 11 PM, ET, so early numbers are not yet available.
