The Super Bowl has become a cultural event, with parties thrown around the country as fans, some more ardent than others. The Baltimore Ravens shook off an unprecedented Superdome blackout and a near improbable second-half comeback by the San Francisco 49ers, to hold on and capture one of the greatest, and certainly wildest, Super Bowls, 34-31 on Sunday. The half the lights in the Superdome went out in a third quarter Super Bowl power outage, causing a 34-minute delay. Since that moment, the 49ers have regrouped and dominated.

Flacco was especially potent in the first half, completing 13 of 20 passes for 192 yards in the first 30 minutes to give the Ravens a 21-3 lead with 1:45 left in the half. The two head coaches, John Harbaugh of the Ravens and Jim Harbaugh of the 49ers, are brothers. Their parents have said they are cheering for both teams.

Definitely it was a a game full of emotions for 100 million or so Americans expected to tune in on TV.
