Super Bowl 47



It was one hell of a game with lots of up and down. Pre-game match up involved renaming super bowl game to “Harbaugh Bowl” as twin brothers Jim and John were coaching two teams, 49ers and Ravens.

49ers started tentatively with loosing the coin toss and giving penalty yards away before they begin the first play of the game. They were tentative throughout the first half and Ravens took the lead with 7-3. Joe Flacco was fantastic while Boldin was brilliant. They pair together many times in crucial 3rd down situations to bail Ravens out. 49ers had themselves to blame in first half as they kept on missing crucial 3rd down situations both defensively as well as offensively. First half ended in favor of Ravens as they were leading with score of 21-6. One of the biggest highlight of first half was Go Daddy commercial in which Bar Rafaeli kissed a nerd.

Half time show involving Beyonce Knowles was hip and happening. Game changing moment came when the Ravens opened the second half with a 108-yard kickoff return by Jacoby Jones for a touchdown. It put Ravens totally in control of the game with lead of 28-6. However there was a delay of game with more than half an hour due to power outage. It changed the momentum of the game as 49ers scored 17 points in the span of 4 minutes with scoreboard showing 23-28 still in favor of Ravens.

Both team put up a great show till the end of the game with pendulum swinging from one team to another but Ravens never allowed 49ers to take the lead. Eventually, time ran out for 49ers and game ended with 31-34 in favor of Ravens. 

Baltimore Ravens became the Super Bowl 47 Champion !!!
