The Pro Bowl drew a 5.6 overnight television rating on ESPN this year, according to Austin Karp of SportsBusiness Daily.
The number represents the lowest overnight rating the game has received since 2007, when it was broadcast on CBS after the Super Bowl. The rating also marked the fourth straight year in which the overnight rating has declined.
The game, which was broadcast on ESPN, went up against the Miss Universe Pageant, WWE's Royal Rumble and the SAG awards.
Last year's edition, which was broadcast on NBC and went up against the Grammys, earned an overnight rating of 6.7, down from 7.7 in 2013.
