That might have been the most interesting Super Bowl to say the least. We start off with the Ravens scoring on the first drive of the game, being up 21-6 at half time, Beyonce killing it at the halftime show, Jacobi Jones running for a 109 yard touchdown (I know they said 108, but it's going down in my books as 109 even if someone tries to tell me differently), only to have the power go out for 30 minutes.
The worst part about that power outage might have been that the commercials were not getting any better. Then, to make matters worse, when the game did start back up again, the 49ers were unstoppable, putting 17 points on the board before the end of the quarter. The only other thing that stood out to me during that 3rd quarter was the traditional and heartwarming appearance by the Budweiser Clydesdale (probably my favorite commercial of the night).
There were several QB sneaks by Colin Kaepernick, some uncalled. There was the first FG fake in Super Bowl history, the longest TD in Super Bowl history, and the longest separation between championships for Ray Lewis, who won the Super Bowl 12 years prior. What a season and performance by him tonight. To top the night off, it was an exciting football game, and the score was a little too close for comfort there at the end. (Secretly though, I knew the whole time the Ravens would pull it out!)
All in all, it was a fun night, comprised of overeating and bleeding purple. Shout out to the Ravens on the National victory, to the MVP Joe Flacco, who had a stellar performance tonight, and John Harbaugh, who is a class act (it can never be easy to beat your younger brother in the Super Bowl...although it always feels good to beat your younger brother at everything else haha sorry buddy boy!!)
