Ravens Win Super Bowl
Hung on to the end despite 49ers surge
The Ravens were almost done in Sunday by a reign delay.
A power outage at the Superdome halted Super Bowl XLVII for 34 minutes casting the stadium into a twilight-like darkness and allowing the reeling 49ers to regroup with almost a full half remaining.
Despite an impressive power surge by the 49ers, however, the Ravens were able to hang on for a 34-31 victory, hoisting the Lombardi Trophy for the second time in their history.

The 49ers couldn't beat the Rams in 10 quarters of play (across 2 different games, they tied in the first and went to OT in the second game where the Rams won by 3 points), then they shouldn't have won the Super Bowl.
