The Ravens and 49ers put together a thriller yet again, so fitting for a Super Bowl. The Ravens were lead by Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco, who completed 22 of 33 passes for 287 yards and 3 TDs, 2 to Anquan Boldin, who lead the team with 6 receptions for 104 yards, and 1 to Jacoby Jones who finished 1 reception for 56 yards, including a record tying 108 kickoff return for a TD.
All as well for Baltimore in the first half and early second half, but after a 30 min long blackout in the Superdome, the Niners somehow found some life. Colin Kaepernick, after throwing an INT to Ed Reed in the first half, came out firing as he finished completing 16-28 passes for 302 yards and threw 1 TD to Michael Crabtree, leading the Niners with 5 receptions for 109 yards. Kaepernick also rushed for 62 yards and 1 TD to put the Niners within 2, but failed on a two-point attempt to Randy Moss to tie it.
In a last chance for the Niners, they went for it on 4th down and goal in the winding minutes of the 4th quarter, but the Niners fell short after attempted pass by Kaepernick to Crabtree, in what was considered a controversial no call. The Ravens hold on for their second Super Bowl title as they beat the Niners 34-31, sending Ray Lewis to retirement a champion.
Final Score: Super Bowl XLVII BAL 34 SF 31
