NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - The Baltimore Ravens survived a late fight back from the San Francisco 49ers and a 35-minute power outage to claim a 34-31 Super Bowl victory on Sunday.

For the Ravens, who were outscored 25-13 in the second half, the victory marked the 17-year-old franchise's second National Football League championship and first in 12 years.
