A power outage at the Super Bowl put the nation's biggest sporting event on hold for more than a half-hour Sunday, interrupting an otherwise electric, back-and-forth game that ended with Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens as NFL champions thanks to a 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
Power at the Superdome suddenly, oddly went out, putting the nation's biggest sporting event on hold for more than a half-hour Sunday and interrupting a back-and-forth Super Bowl in which Joe Flacco's three touchdown passes and Jacoby Jones' 108-yard kickoff return gave the Baltimore Ravens a 22-point lead over the San Francisco 49ers that dwindled to 34-29 late in the fourth quarter.

The Baltimore Ravens had relied on their offense through the first four games of the season.
The men in stripes have drawn so much attention this season that some interesting developments on the football field have gone largely unnoticed, like a big spike in field goal accuracy.
Before Justin Tucker knew it, Terrell Suggs was pouring water out of two Gatorade bottles on top of his head in celebration.
He said from an agent's perspective, finding the right situation for a young kicker is most important, because there's only 32 jobs available.
Tucker added a 38-yarder with 4:19 remaining, setting up the frantic finish.
