This was really a response or additional evidence that the NFL ratings continue to be in decline.
There were a ton of stories during the season how the ratings were falling off a cliff. Although not bad in the larger picture like you point out, it would seem there is a general downward trend of viewership for NFL games.

- k-mcgrady 10y agoI wasn't really aware of the problems during the season. Such a small drop in SB ratings seems like a bit of a victory then I guess.
- gozur88 10y agoThe stuff that goes with the Superbowl - parties, jerseys, office pools, etc has turned the game into a pseudo-holiday for a lot of people. I expect the Superbowl will hang around for awhile as a cultural icon even if they can't stem the audience bleed for the regular season.
