Possibly an equipment problem? I don't think intentional thuggery was involved at all, just hard football. The young Niners got beat in the end by a more experienced team, especially the QB's at the end in spite of the momentum shift caused by the power outage. Flacco was for sure the MVP, and the Raven defense shut the Niners out at the end. Also older bro John out-coached younger bro Jim at the end with the punter play running around in the endzone killing the clock. Brilliant.......
