Five football facts
about Super Bowl XLVII:
1.
Both the Baltimore Ravens & the San
Francisco 49ers quarterbacks can throw the long ball – so if the game gets
close, the last few minutes will be very
exciting!
2.
The running backs on the 49ers & the Ravens
have very similar rushing yards for the season - they average 4.4 – 4.7
yards each time they get the ball. Making the running back talent equal on both
teams.
3.
Based off my top two points, this should be a
high scoring game. I envision the offense coming out strong and setting a high
intensity tempo right off the bat.
4.
The teams have had more time off than usual, so
it’s important for the offense to have a mix of run plays & pass plays. The team who can execute both of
these plays will keep the defense on their toes.
5.
The 49ers & the Ravens were #6 & #7 in
best defense this season and the difference between #6 & #7 was .5 yards – that’s
NOTHING!!!
So who are you going to root for? Need help figuring it out? It’s a safe bet to
root for the team that originates from the coast you live on! If you live in
Georgia, root for the Ravens, if you live in Oregon, start chanting for the
49ers. Live in the middle of the country?
Pick a team whose city you’ve been to before!
