2013 Super Bowl: Where to Watch in Alexandria, Ravens-49ers History and More

Super Bowl XLVII is coming up this Sunday, Feb. 3 in New Orleans — the Baltimore Ravens will face the San Francisco 49ers.

An added twist this year is brother vs. brother head coaches. Jim Harbaugh coaches the 49ers, and his brother John coaches the Ravens. (What are the odds that two brothers will become head coaches in the NFL and face each other in the Super Bowl? Find out here.) 

When these two teams square off Sunday, it will be the fifth time they've met since the 1996 season. Baltimore has won three games — in 2003, 2007 and 2011. San Francisco won in 1996.
