Over 100 million people in the United States tuned in Sunday night to watch the New Orleans Saint defeat the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV. According to The Hollywood Reporter, early CBS estimates show Sunday's big game rising from last year's all-time high.

Super Bowl XLIV's rating was up 10% from the 2009's Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Arizona Cardinals game which was seen by a record 98.7 million viewers. "Super Bowl XLIV could be the first sports program to ever domestically crack 100 million viewers" THR adds. 

Firmer numbers will be available later today, including a total viewership tally. With that being said, congratulations New Orleans! I'm glad my season of cheering, not to mention your hard work, has paid off.
