Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco doesn’t buy Super Bowl conspiracy theory
By Jason Marcum
One of the weirdest and equally controversial moments in Super Bowl history came in New Orleans last February when the lights went out in the Superdome in the second half of the game between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers. After the game was over, it was reported that faulty equipment was to blame for the blackout.
Don’t tell Ray Lewis that. The former Ravens and future first-ballot hall-of-famer doesn’t buy that the power went out accidentally in a game that the Ravens were winning handily before the blackout seized their momentum and allowed the 49ers to get back into the game:
"“I’m not gonna accuse nobody of nothing, because I don’t know facts. But you’re a zillion-dollar company, and your lights go out? No. No way,” Lewis said, via Nate Davis of USA Today."
But the Super Bowl MVP, Joe Flacco, isn’t buying into that theory:
"“Listen, I’m not against conspiracies, but I don’t necessarily think that was one of them – no,” Flacco told reporters Sunday. “So, I don’t really concur with that.”"
This certainly wouldn’t be the first time Lewis and Flacco haven’t seen eye-to-eye.
