Sunday evening the Mercedes Benz Superdome was the host of Superbowl XLVII. New Orleans was Superbowl host once again, 1st time since February 2002 when Tom Brady and the New England Patriots defeated the defending champion St. Louis Rams. Ray Lewis didn't play great in the Superbowl as 49ers tight end got behind him at will on pass patterns. Nevertheless the Ravens defense was able to hold late on a goal line stand to prevent the 49ers from scoring the game winning touchdown. Baltimore won the game 34-31 winning the 2nd championship in franchise history and their 1st in 12 years. San Francisco lost their 1st Superbowl in franchise history falling to 5-1. Shortly after Beyonce performed during halftime along with her Destiny's Child mates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, the lights literally went out on half of the building. SF trailed 28-6 as Jacoby Jones opened the 2nd half in record style 108 yard kickoff return touchdown. The delay was well over 30 minutes, the 49ers gained momentum just as quickly as the Ravens lost it. Nevertheless despite some questionable red zone play calling by SF and lack of call by the officials on the final offensive play for the 49ers as WR Crabtree appeared to be held. Baltimore hung on, they were survivors even if the 49ers didn't give up, the Ravens worked harder and they made it. If my readers noticed that was a little Destiny's Child humor.
