The San Francisco 49ers went three and out on their next-to-last possession in the first half, perhaps with the inexperience of second-year quarterback Colin Kaepernick raising its head with a double-clutch incompletion sabotaging the series after stopping the Baltimore Ravens’ unsuccessful fake field-goal try.
The Ravens took possession, and made the 49ers pay, quarterback Joe Flacco unloading another deep pass -- 56 yards -- that receiver Jacoby Jones grabbed inside the 10-yard-line.
Jones fell down when making the catch, but he was untouched, stood up and ran the remaining yards into the end zone for a 21-3 lead with 1:45 remaining.
It was Flacco’s third touchdown pass of the game.
The 49ers marched back inside the Ravens' 10 as the seconds dwindled to halftime, the big play being a Kaepernick pass to Delanie Walker.
On third and two at the Ravens' nine, Kaepernick was stopped for no gain, and the 49ers' David Akers kicked a 27-yard field goal to end the first half.
Here in Las Vegas, bookmakers have installed the 49ers as a seven-point favorite in the second half, with the second-half over/under at 24 1/2 points.
Ravens 14, 49ers 3 (late second quarter)
Ed Reed might have gray in his beard now, but the veteran Baltimore Ravens’ defensive back still knows how to play football at the highest level.
Reed proved it with 6:55 left in the second quarter, grabbing his record-tying ninth postseason interception by picking off a Colin Kaepernick pass inside the 49ers’ 45-yard line.
It was the first time a pass by a San Francisco quarrerback has been intercepted in the Super Bowl after 170 attempts, one reason they are 5-0 in the NFC title game.
The Ravens pushed inside the 49ers’ 20 on a Joe Flacco pass to running back Ray Rice, but receiver Anquan Boldin dropped a pass near the 10, and Flacco’s next pass fell incomplete beyond the end zone.
A 32-yard field-goal try was faked, and the run fell short of the first-down marker, giving the 49ers possession with 3:05 left in the first half.
