The Eagles' stunning victory over the Chiefs was the most-watched Super Bowl in history - setting a new record for a single event in US TV history. But, according to reports, the game played second fiddle to Kendrick Lamar's halftime show, which also broke new ground. Philadelphia lifted its second Vince Lombardi Trophy with a 40-22 victory over Kansas City at the Superdome on Sunday. On Tuesday, Front Office Sports reported that Super Bowl LIX averaged 127.7million viewers on Fox's platforms and peaked during the second quarter at 137.7m.

Patrick Mahomes' side failed in their bid to win a historic third consecutive Super Bowl. The rapper's 13-minute performance included cameos from SZA, Samuel L. Jackson and Serena Williams. Lamar included his famous diss track about bitter rival Drake in a show that was criticized by many viewers. Some branded it 'the worst halftime show ever'. Tennis legend Serena, who was once linked to Drake, was pictured dancing during his performance of Not Like Us.
