It was eight years ago today when the Ravens won their second Super Bowl with a 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. The Ravens entered the game as 4 ½ point underdogs yet they dominated the contest between the Brothers Harbaugh for 2 ½ quarters. The 49ers outgained the Ravens 468 yards to 367 and ran the ball for 182 yards (6.3 YPC). The Niners gashed the Ravens defense in the second half with 129 rushing yards on 14 carries (9.2 YPC).
In the end the Ravens prevailed, thanks in part to winning the turnover battle (2:1), winning third down and a late goal line stand to help preserve the victory.
