World Champions
On Sunday, February 3 the Baltimore Ravens took on the San
Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII (Forty Seven) at the Mercedes – Benz
SuperDome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
After the Ravens sprinted out to a 28 – 6 lead early in the third
quarter a bank of lights suddenly went out and delayed action for over half an
hour. This couldn’t have come at a worse
time for the Ravens because when play resumed the 49ers had all the momentum on
their side and pulled within 31 – 29.
However, the 49ers would get no closer and the Ravens would hold on for
a 34 – 31 victory and bring the Vince Lombardi Championship Trophy back to
Baltimore for the second time. Previously,
the Ravens had won Super Bowl XXXV (Thirty – Five) back in 2001. This time around the Ravens made a fourth
down goal line stand in the final two minutes to preserve the victory. For the first time in Super Bowl history
there were two brothers coaching against each other with John Harbaugh leading
the Ravens and Jim Harbaugh leading the 49ers.
Personally, as my second favorite team (the Redskins are my first) I am
enjoying this because I am well enough to feel the excitement of an area team
being World Champions. The last time the
Ravens won the Super Bowl I was in the psych ward at Montgomery General Hospital
and don’t remember much about that game.
However, now that I am fully recovered I am able to fully enjoy the
Ravens most recent Super Bowl title.
