Game summary

i feel like the game summary has slight bias either toward the 9ers or against the ravens. Δρ∈rs∈ghiη (talk) 14:55, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
the power outage was not caused by a blown transformer (that was what happened at the Baltimore game)

What about the incredible rookie Colin Kaepernick. Starting Qb in the Super Bowl his first season! And he isn't even mentioned!,,,,,,24.167.99.174 (talk) 07:50, 8 August 2013 (UTC)spw 8/8/13[reply]

Actually, it was his second season. Zappa O Mati 13:40, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Only undefeated team with multiple appearances

Under the Background section is the following:
On winning, Baltimore became the only team in the NFL to have appeared in multiple Super Bowls without losing one; in fact, they supplanted the 49ers in this role. Currently, this phenomenon can only be repeated if the Ravens or the New York Jets play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the New Orleans Saints in a subsequent Super Bowl.

What "phenomenon" does this sentence refer to? Is it:

Being the only team with multiple appearances and no losses?

OR

Simply having multiple appearances and no losses?

Either way, the prescribed matchups for repeating said phenomenon are incorrect. Rdfiasco (talk) 04:05, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
