It’s been a ruff year since the last Puppy Bowl. But thankfully the furball faceoff is back to lift your spirits and help take your mind off the pandemic and snowy weather sweeping northern states.
The nickname for this Sunday s Super Bowl could be the Super Streaming Bowl.
That s because the matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will likely set new streaming records.

It was also the most live-streamed Super Bowl in history, drawing an average of 3.4 million viewers per minute, up 30% over the previous year.
