Ravens coach John Harbaugh and 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh are brothers, and this time the younger brother defeated his older brother.

There was a blackout after Beyoncé’s fiery performance at midfield.

The latest data shows: 48.1% of households in cities across the United States watched the Super Bowl finals broadcast live on CBS on Sunday night, setting a record high in Super Bowl ratings. The previous record was 47.9% set by Fox during the 2011 finals broadcast between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Baltimore was the most-watched city, with 59.6% of households tuning in.

The second highest viewership is the host city New Orleans (57.1%), followed by Washington DC (56.9). San Francisco, on the other hand, is not among the 10 cities with the highest ratings.

Beyoncé’s intense performance caused a power outage

Beyoncé’s performance was so smokey that it triggered the stadium’s alarm system, which automatically cut off the power supply. The Super Bowl was blacked out for 37 minutes.

The 47th Super Bowl was bustling with excitement, and there were constant situations on the field. The Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers had a heated battle, and the Super Bowl Stadium in Louisiana was electrified. The game was suspended for half an hour. After emergency repairs, the game resumed at around 10:10.

After midfielder Beyoncé's passionate performance, at the beginning of the second half, the Ravens' Jones received the 49ers' kickoff and ran back 109 yards for a touchdown, setting a record for the longest kick return touchdown in the Super Bowl. Only 11 seconds into the third quarter, the Ravens expanded their lead to 28-6.

But then a power outage occurred in the gymnasium. First the 49ers' half went dark, then the Ravens' half, and then the entire stadium went dark. Players from both teams returned to the sidelines and the game was suspended at 13 minutes and 22 seconds of the third quarter.

Many fans on the Internet speculated that the stadium's electricity went off at the beginning of the second half, which was probably related to Beyoncé's dazzling midfield stage effect that consumed too much power, but the official has not made a formal statement.

The event attracted 110 million viewers around the world

At 6:30 pm on February 3, the 47th NFL Super Bowl was held at the New Orleans Dome. This super event attracted 110 million viewers around the world. This is also the New Orleans Dome. After New Orleans was hit hard by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, it hosted the Super Bowl for the first time, symbolizing rebirth after the disaster. The Baltimore Ravens scored three touchdowns in the first half to establish their lead. After experiencing a power outage, the San Francisco 49ers made a crazy counterattack in the second half and once narrowed the gap to only 2 points. However, they still fell short. The Ravens narrowly won the Super Bowl 34-31. Ravens quarterback Flacco was elected MVP, and Ray Lewis won the Super Bowl for the second time in his career. He ended his career in the most perfect way.

The San Francisco 49ers, led by quarterback Kaepernick, won the NFC finals. They eliminated the NFC No. 1 seed Atlanta Falcons 28-24. The Baltimore Ravens defeated the favorite New England Patriots 28-13 in the American League Finals, making this year's Super Bowl a meeting between Ravens coach John Harbaugh and 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh. For the Ravens, they also hope to use winning the Super Bowl to give the best farewell gift to legendary linebacker Ray Lewis who retires after this season.

The 49ers took the lead in the game. Unfortunately, they failed to advance 10 yards in four offenses during their second push, and the offensive power was transferred to the Ravens. Under Flacco's organization, the Ravens' offense was fast and effective. They only used three offenses to advance to the 49ers' 19-yard line. Flacco tried to pass to his teammates twice without success, but the 49ers' Brooks defended offside and the Ravens reorganized the third offense. With 10 minutes and 36 seconds left in the first quarter, Flacco calmly found the wide receiver Boldin who successfully cut into the opponent's end zone. Flacco directly sent a direct pass, and Boldin completed the touchdown. The free throw was also successfully scored, and the Ravens led 7-0.

The 49ers, who were lagging behind, immediately organized an offensive counterattack. Although they successfully advanced to the Ravens' 8-yard line, Kaepernick was sacked when he failed to find a suitable passing teammate during the third offense. The 49ers chose a more secure approach. Akers kicked the ball in and scored 3 points. The 49ers fell behind 3-7. During the remainder of the first quarter, the 49ers gradually found their defensive feel. They effectively suppressed the Ravens' offense and did not allow their opponents to score again. The Ravens led 7-3 after the first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Ravens chose to punt, and the offensive power was transferred to the 49ers, but they did not seize the opportunity. When they reached the Ravens 24-yard line, James made a fumble and the offensive power returned to the Ravens. Under Flacco's organization, the Ravens used three offenses to advance to the 49ers 29-yard line. On the next offense, Flacco found his teammate Dixon. He was pulled down by his opponent at the 8-yard line. The referee discussed and penalized the 49ers' Whitner for pulling his helmet for a foul. The Ravens advanced 4 yards to organize the offense. In a new wave of offense, the Ravens' Rice was knocked down at the 1-yard line, and they were very close to their second touchdown. With 7 minutes and 10 seconds left in the second quarter, Flacco retreated to organize the attack. He found tight end Pita who broke into the opponent's end zone, and directly passed the ball to Pita to complete the touchdown. He kicked the extra penalty and the Ravens led 14-3.

The 49ers were eager to chase points, but waste time in haste. Their subsequent two rounds of offensive efforts were in vain. The Ravens were full of momentum. After two fruitless attacks at their own 44-yard line, Flacco accurately passed a 47-yard long pass to Jones. Jones landed on his back after receiving the ball. He immediately got up and broke through the circle of two or three 49ers defenders to complete the touchdown and kicked the extra penalty. The Ravens led 21-3. Flacco also became the first quarterback in 18 years to pass three touchdowns in the first half. At the end of the second quarter, the 49ers' Akers used the kick to recover 3 points. The Ravens led 21-6 at halftime.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Ravens staged an incredible scene to expand their advantage. When the 49ers kicked off, Jones started to accelerate after receiving the ball in his own end zone. He crossed the 49ers' defensive line and successfully returned the kick for a touchdown. The 108-yard return touchdown tied the NFL's historical record and set a Super Bowl record. The Ravens kicked an extra penalty and they expanded the score to 28-6. Just when the 49ers were organizing an offense to try to chase points, an unexpected situation occurred at the scene. The lights above the dome suddenly went out, which forced the game to be interrupted.

The power outage interrupted the game for 36 minutes. After the restart, both teams had a wave of attacks without scoring. At this time, the 49ers were getting better on the field. They used three sets of offense to attack the Ravens 31-yard line. With 7 minutes and 28 seconds left in this quarter, Kaepernick passed a 16-yard pass to Corabutree. Two Ravens defensive players bumped into him one after another. Under the forward and reverse impact, Corabutri maintained his balance and continued to attack. He threw away the opponent's players to complete the touchdown. Ackers kicked the penalty, and the 49ers chased to 13-28.

The highly motivated 49ers allowed the Ravens' offense to last only 1 minute and 33 seconds. They successfully sacked Flacco on the Ravens' third offense, and the Ravens had no choice but to punt. The 49ers launched an offense at the opponent's 20-yard line. Kaepernick passed the ball to Davis, and he attacked the opponent's 6-yard line. Using the cover of his teammates, Gore caught the ball and bypassed the Ravens' defensive line to successfully complete the touchdown. He kicked the extra penalty and the 49ers chased to 20-28.

> The opponent's consecutive touchdowns made the Ravens a little confused. Rice unexpectedly made a fumble and the offensive power was handed over to the 49ers. This time the Ravens defense finally succeeded in stopping the bleeding. They did not allow the 49ers' touchdown offensive to continue. In the end, Akers could only chase another 3 points through kicking. At the end of the first three quarters, the 49ers trailed 23-28.

Although the Ravens attacked the 49ers' 1-yard line after the start of the fourth quarter, their three touchdown attempts were unsuccessful. In the end, they could only score 3 points with a kick, and the score was rewritten to 31-23. The 49ers resumed their offense to maintain an efficient state, and they quickly reached the Ravens' 15-yard line. With 10 minutes and 4 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Kaepernick took advantage of the cover of his teammates and chose to go it alone without finding a suitable receiver. He took advantage of the Ravens' defensive vulnerability and completed a 15-yard touchdown run. This created the longest touchdown run by a quarterback in the history of the Super Bowl. The original record was Joe Montana's 6-yard run touchdown. The 49ers, who were trailing by 2 points, did not choose to add a regular penalty, but chose a 2-point additional offense. Unfortunately, Kaepernick's pass to Moss was unsuccessful and they fell behind 29-31.

Under pressure, although the Ravens pushed the offense to the opponent's 20-yard line, Flacco passed the ball to Pitta, who failed to catch it. They were unable to complete the 10-yard advance and could only choose to kick the ball and score 3 points. The Ravens led 34-29. It was the 49ers' turn to attack, and they advanced steadily to the Ravens' 7-yard line. After a timeout, Kaepernick passed the ball to Corabutrie, who was tackled by his opponent at the 5-yard line. The 49ers requested a timeout with 1 minute and 55 seconds left before the end, but unfortunately Corabutrie's wing support attack was knocked down by his opponent. The 49ers had no choice but to continue attacking in the fourth gear. Kaepernick threw a high pass into the end zone. Unfortunately, Corabutrie failed to catch the ball due to interference from his opponent. 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh believed that his opponent had committed a foul, but according to regulations, he could not apply for a challenge at this time.

The Ravens, who held a 5-point lead, had the right to attack with 1 minute and 46 seconds before the end, and they chose to use a ground attack to waste time. With 12 seconds left in the game, Koch did not choose to kick the ball when he caught the ball in the end zone, but took the initiative to give his opponent a 2-point safety score. With 4 seconds before the end, the 49ers trailed 31 to 34. The 49ers replaced Keane for a try. He caught the ball and ran back and broke through the two defensive lines of the Ravens. Unfortunately, he was knocked down at the 50-yard line. The 49ers fell short, and the Ravens won 34-31 to win the Super Bowl.
