SF was getting humiliated by the Ravens until a power outage. When the lights came back on the Niners started to rally. They almost pulled it off in the end, but lost because of Kaepernick's pathetic passing ability.
Stoppages like that can actually be really good for the losing team. It kills momentum for the winning team and gives the guys behind a chance to rally.
This was how the Chicago Cubs clinched the World Series win in 2016. They had a commanding lead and then gave up 3 runs to tie it up for the 9th. They were on the ropes and a rain delay allowed them to rally and came out and took it.
