In Super Bowl XLVII, Harbaugh reached into his bag of tricks in the second quarter. On fourth-and-9 at the 49ers' 14-yard line, the Ravens lined up for a field goal. But the ball was snapped directly to kicker Justin Tucker, who ran around the left end. He nearly picked up the first down, but came up a yard short. The gamble cost the Ravens three points, but not the Lombardi Trophy. (Lloyd Fox / Baltimore Sun)
34 Minutes: Super Bowl Power Outage

An electrical failure at New Orleans' SuperDome put millions on edge as the world watched this year's SuperBowl go dark. The game and the power were back about half hour later so the Baltimore Ravens could defeat the San Francisco Giants, but conspiracy theories abound. The finger was pointed at everyone from halftime performer Beyonce to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. But the official explanation is still simply a relay device malfunction.
