STAMFORD, Conn. - February 17, 2022 -Nearly 7 in 10 Americans (69.2%) watched coverage of the world's two biggest sporting events - Super Bowl LVI and the Olympic Winter Games - on the networks of NBCUniversal, from the start of the Beijing Olympics coverage on Feb. 2 on USA Network through "Super Gold Sunday" featuring the Los Angeles Rams' down-to-the-wire, three-point Super Bowl LVI victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on NBC, followed by live Winter Games competition on NBC and USA Network.
