Ravens dominate 49ers with physicality and playmaking, send message to rest of NFL

New York Times  

From Broderick Washington slamming Christian McCaffrey after a short gain to Isaiah Likely stiff-arming Ji’Ayir Brown to the ground to Justin Madubuike putting Jon Feliciano on his back on an early pass rush, the Baltimore Ravens made one thing clear: They were the more physical team at Levi’s Stadium Monday night. “I believe we play better under pressure,” said Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who threw for 252 yards and two touchdowns and didn’t turn the ball over against a San Francisco defense that hunts takeaways. Offensively, an in-control Jackson led the Ravens to points on seven consecutive drives, starting with Baltimore’s final position of the first quarter and ending with its final one of the third. The first of the Ravens’ five interceptions came in the end zone — Kyle Hamilton stepped in front of wide receiver Deebo Samuel and Purdy never saw him — and took away potential 49ers points.
