Baltimore Ravens are the Super Bowl XLVII Champions.


The Baltimore Ravens beat the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 Sunday to win Super Bowl XLVII. The Ravens won their 2nd Super Bowl in 2 tries. 49ers drop to 5-1 in Super Bowls. Joe Flacco was 22 for 33 (.667) with 287 passing yards and 3 TDs and 0 INTs. He won his 1st Super Bowl MVP. The game started out with the Ravens scoring a touchdown to go up 7-0. San Francisco kicked a field goal to make the score 7-3. Then the Ravens toke control of the game. Ravens scored two straight TDs to go up 21-3. San Francisco did get a little closer when they kicked a field goal to make the score 21-6 at half. To start the 2nd half Jacoby Jones tied a NFL record with a 108 yard kickoff return to extend the lead. Then short after that half the half the lights went out in the stadium and there was a 34 minute delay. After that delay everything changed. San Francisco scored 2 straight touchdowns and a field goal. The score after 3 quarters was 28 to 23 Baltimore. Ravens added a field goal to go up 8 points but San Francisco responded with a touchdown to make it 31 to 29 Baltimore after a failed 2 point conversion. Ravens added another field goal to make the score 34 to 29. The final score was 34 to 31 after the Ravens toke a safety to less the time San Francisco had at the very end. Both teams had great seasons. I expect to see the Ravens win the AFC North again. Assuming they resign Joe Flacco they will probably be one of the best in the AFC and have another chance for Super Bowl again. It will be tough without Ray Lewis who probably won't be on the team next year since he plans to retire. The 49ers will probably win the NFC West but they have to watch at for Seattle who will be hungry next year. It will be interested to see if Kaepernick can keep doing what he did at the end of this year.
