Fans and members of the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers wait for power to return in the Superdome during an outage in the second half of the NFL Super Bowl XLVII football game.

Electric surge almost gives 49ers the momentum to win Super Bowl

The Associated Press reports:

From blowout to blackout to shoot out, Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens had just enough power to survive one of the most electric Super Bowls ever.

The outage flipped the momentum to the San Francisco 49ers, but the Ravens used a last-gasp defensive stand to hold on Sunday night 34 – 31.

That is so much bull@!$%#... The lights (outage) did not give anyone team the advantage. They both benefited from the outage! Just like both teams benefited from all the bad holding calls (there were none). The Niner's all season long, pissed away their first half, only to come back in the second half to kick-ass. If the loss can be attributed to anyone thing, blame the Niner's defense! GO NINER'S!
