Last Night Was Probably The Closest We'll Ever Get To A Super Bowl Fair-Catch Kick, The Rarest Play In The NFL
When the Ravens intentionally took a safety, to give themselves better field position and run a few seconds off the clock, it brought the 49ers to within three points.

Why Did The Superdome Power Go Out?
The lights went out, and they stayed out for 34 minutes. Colin Kaepernick had just been sacked, and the 49ers were down 22, and if momentum is a real thing, the blackout swung it firmly to San Francisco.

Watch CBS Herp And Derp Its Way Through The Super Bowl Power Outage
Drew already highlighted how last night's Super Bowl blackout led to some spectacularly bad television.

It Took A Blackout To Show You How Truly Useless NFL Broadcasters Are. Let's Blow Up The Studio.
I avoided the pregame shows yesterday. This isn't unusual. I never watch pregame shows for the same reason YOU never watch pregame shows.

The day after the Super Bowl, you might have an annoying European friend or co-worker tell you he's unimpressed.
