If Sky had the rights to NBC's build up they would have been showing it all evening, as they did last year with Fox's coverage, instead of taking it from the NFL Network.
And Sky have never taken much interest in extensive post-game coverage. With the game ending around 3am on a workday the live audience that would keep watching would be too small to justify it. They have not even scheduled a return to the NFL Network's programming for that, but just some Football Life episodes as filler.
A few minutes around the half time show and trophy presentation, which would amount to the difference whilst Sky's own studio coverage is on air, would not justify the cost of rights and a producer.
