J U S T T H E FAC T S • Riding a seven-game winning streak, the Baltimore Ravens (9-2) host the San Francisco 49ers (10-1) in a clash of two of the NFL’s premier teams. Sitting atop the AFC North standings with a threegame lead over Pittsburgh, the Ravens are 9-2 for the third time (2006 & 2012) in franchise history. Baltimore’s seven-game winning streak is the NFL’s longest active stretch, while San Francisco owns the league’s best record (tied with New England). • The Ravens rank No. 1 in points (35.1) and rushing yards (210.5) per game, while they’re No. 2 in total yards per game (433.3). MVP candidate QB Lamar Jackson has accounted for an NFL-high 30 total TDs (24 passing & 6 rushing). This season he has twice passed for 5 TDs in a single game and produced two games with perfect passer ratings. No. 8 has also rushed for at least 100 yards on three occasions. • Baltimore leads the regular season series with the 49ers, 3-2. Under head coach John Harbaugh, the Ravens are 2-1 overall vs. San Francisco, winning Super Bowl XLVII during the 2012 campaign. • In last week’s 45-6 Monday night victory at the LA Rams, Baltimore scored touchdowns on its first six offensive possessions before Jackson was removed from the game early in the fourth quarter. The second-year signal-caller threw for 169 yards and 5 TDs on just 15of-20 passing (139.4 rating), adding 95 rushing yards on 8 carries. Baltimore racked up 480 yards of offense, including a season-best 285 on the ground (111 of which came courtesy of RB Mark Ingram II). The Ravens’ defense limited LAR to just 221 total yards, adding 2 sacks and 2 takeaways (CB Marcus Peters & CB Jimmy Smith INTs).
C OAC H H A R BAU G H S AY S John Harbaugh on the Close Bond Between Ravens Players:
“It’s a unique group of guys. They really are close. They really do love one another. They have a certain belief in one another and things greater than that. They have faith, they trust – and they work. They go to the next play, and they keep it simple that way. There’s something special here. But you know what? There’s nobody crowned in November, so we have a lot of work to do. The plan is to get 1% better every single day. It’s hard to do that, but our guys are up to the task.”
I N J U RY U P DAT E Starting NT Michael Pierce (ankle) has missed the past two games, while starting C Matt Skura (knee) left the Rams game and did not return. Starters SS Tony Jefferson (knee, Week 5) and OLB Pernell McPhee (triceps, Week 7) are on IR, as is CB Tavon Young (neck).
NOTE THE QUOTE
NFL.com’s Gregg Rosenthal
on the
Ravens’ Offensive Approach:
“The Ravens have taken an approach that appears to have come out of the 1970s and made it new, because [Lamar] Jackson is unlike any quarterback in football, and he deserves an offense to match. This is the history of the NFL writ small, mixing the old and the outof-fashion with the cutting-edge, then racing to the end zone before the rest of the league can catch up.”
