"The game wasn't that exciting and there was only one touchdown. People might have been bored."
I think there were a few things going on, in no particular order:
- There's still some backlash from the kneeling stupidity
- People are sick of the Patriots, and the Patriots being the Super Bowl
- People are even more sick of Tom Brady, and Tom Brady being in the Super Bowl
- The bad call against the Saints tainted this Super Bowl
