The Baltimore Ravens made a powerful statement as they entered Levi’s Stadium to face the San Francisco 49ers, securing a decisive 33-19 victory by taking control of the game in all aspects. Despite skepticism, including from Mike Florio, about their chances against the formidable 49ers, the Ravens demonstrated their dominance with a performance rarely seen this season.
The Ravens’ comprehensive win was propelled by their defense, which secured five interceptions, and a stellar performance from Lamar Jackson. This impressive victory has put the entire NFL on notice, and the Ravens, having previously dismantled the Seattle Seahawks (37-3) and the Detroit Lions (38-6), have now made a significant statement, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
Harbaugh expressed, “It’s a major statement about who they are and about how they compete and what they’re all about.”
Not only did the final scoreline make a statement, but Jackson’s individual performance also drew attention, elevating him to the forefront of the NFL MVP race. Operating Todd Monken’s system with near-flawless execution, Jackson completed 23 of 35 passes for 252 yards and two touchdowns, while also contributing 45 rushing yards on seven carries.
Harbaugh, acknowledging Jackson’s exceptional performance, stated, “I thought Lamar had an MVP performance. It takes a team to create a performance like that, but it takes a player to play at that level, to play at an MVP level, takes a player to play that way, and Lamar was all over the field doing everything.”
