A whopping 37 percent of U.S. homes weren't watching the game.

Have no fear, football fanatics, NBC's first ever live stream of the NFL's Super Bowl is here, as fans now have now excuse not to watch America's most glorified sporting event.

The stream is supposed to give fans HD-quality video after updating the system requirements and making sure one's device is compatible for viewing.
