If you had told me in September that I'd be celebrating a Baltimore Ravens win in Super Bowl XLVII now, I would've probably laughed at you.
It was an almost cinderella season. Art Modell passing away. Torrey Smith losing his brother. Injuries. Ray Lewis' retirement announcement. You can't make this stuff up.
I was really excited when Jacoby Jones ran back the TD to start the 2nd half. Baltimore was up 28-6 and seemed to have the game in control. Then the power outage hit. Whatever happened during that 35 minute delay completely turned the game around.
By the 4th quarter I was on the edge of my seat. I joked to my wife that I might have a heart attack before the game is over.
And yes, I do believe there was defensive holding on that 4th and goal play. But I also saw some offensive pass interference. So it should've been offsetting penalties, and replay the down.
All in all, I am very happy with the Ravens. They overcame a lot of challenges and beat three teams that were top notch this year. It was really nice to be able to send Ray Lewis into retirement on top.
What a season. It was exciting, fun, and memorable for sure! I've now seen the Ravens win 2 Super Bowls. The Orioles have one a World Series in my lifetime. If only the Caps could win a Stanley Cup, my circle would be complete.
