>>Ravens' Suggs Says Goodell Had Hand In Super Bowl Power Outage

(Undated) -- Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs is joining voices with former teammate Ray Lewis in saying that the NFL had something to do with the power outage at the Super Bowl in February. In an interview with ESPN's Lisa Salters that airs Tuesday on "E:60," Suggs says NFL commissioner Roger Goodell had a hand in the matter. He added that the league plays favorites sometimes. Earlier this year, Ray Lewis made headlines by saying that the outage was a conspiracy of some kind set up by the league. The Ravens ended up defeating the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 to capture their second Super Bowl title.
