As you should have learned by now, early returns are not necessarily indicative of future success. That said, Ravens control all aspects.
Flacco has a 145.5 QB rating now.
So another Star Trek movie?
Donte Whitner is having a tough game so far.
RT @Skinny_Post: #49ers' biggest deficit in five previous Super Bowls: 7 points vs. Cincinnati in XXIII.
"Star Trek" - now you're talking. #SuperBowl #adbowl
Well, a good step “@PriscoCBS: Spread out the 49ers and throw and you win. It's that simple.”
Flacco had 11/4 odds to SB MVP behind Colin Kaepernick (8/5).
RT @AKinkhabwala: Flacco is 10-for-13 for 124 yards and 2 TDs. And his OC didn't get a single call about a head coaching opening #SB47
Oh, now they throw flags when a brawl breaks out.
Ed Reed with the interception back in his home state of Louisiana. Storybook play for Reed, St. Rose. La, native
They may need to eject someone to get this game under control.
Big squabble between the two teams. Not very nice. More than flags necessary here.
It got chippy after the pick as Cary Williams got into it with the 49ers guys, including Bruce Miller
Offsetting personal fouls on Corey Graham and Joe Staley
And I'm sure the Harbaugh brothers never fought - except every day from ages 3-19. #SuperBowl
Bad move by the official. They don't want somebody to be penalized. But this is getting out of hand.
Cary Williams has to maintain his composure there. He shoved the ref away trying to get at Bruce Miller
Saw some punches in that scuffle.
49ers offense capable of a big come back, but a Baltimore TD would not make anything easy.
Wonder if Mitch Ross will take credit for Reed's recovery in a post-game press conference.
RT @NFLhistory: . @ravens Ed Reed now has 9 career postseason INTs, tied for most in @nfl postseason history (Waters, Simpson, Lott)
Ed Reed has nine career interceptions tying him for most in NFL playoff history, tying him with Bill Simpson, Charlie Waters and Ronnie Lott
Two turnovers spells disaster for any team during any regular game. Not sure the 49ers can overcome this, particularly if Ravens score here.
So maybe good news then RT @timdahlberg: rahman hasn't seen ali in 6 months,family wont talk to him and he's nuts. he has no idea how ali is
RT @SamuelLJackson: The Red Zone needs a Ravens logo in it!
Rather an important stop, that.
According to @RavensInsider, first time Ravens didn't get a TD in past 13 red-zone trips.
Oh wow, almost had a first down there on the fake field goal. That's a Super Bowl only kind of play.
Justin Tucker was just not fast enough. Not a good idea. You get the three points. That was a bad call. Too aggressive
Darcel McBath makes that save
Don't understand that at all
Great call on that fake. Too bad #Ravens forgot to block. Big play? We'll see. #SuperBowl
Willis made the play there, cutting Tucker off and slowing him down. I can't believe John Harbaugh called that with chance to go up 17-3.
Don't mind that play, but not with 9 yards to go. @TCrabtree83 probably disagrees
I never trust the kicker to get 9 yards. Ever.
Not a smart call there? Will it come back to haunt them? We'll see, but that's not what you do with your kicker. What if he had been hurt?
So it's official. Fake field was a good thing and a terrible thing. Twitter has spoken
Ravens wanted a knockout punch. They must not remember the 49ers were down 17-0 before.
