In one of the weirdest moments in Super Bowl history, and maybe in all of sports, there was a power outage in the Superdome that delayed the game by more than 30 minutes.
At the time of the outage the Baltimore Ravens were leading the San Francisco 49ers by a score of 28-6. After the game resumed, Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers were able to make a shocking comeback and nearly took the lead with less than two minutes remaining.
While there wasn’t much action in the Superdome during the now infamous power outage, there was plenty of action in the Twitterverse. Here are some of the highlights:

Power was just returned to the scoreboard. Unfortunately for the 9ers, the score hasn’t changed.

This Super Blow blackout is a good reminder of how hard it was to play football before electricity.

The @ravens are getting momentum back. The @49ers need to call another power outage.
