C OAC H H A R B S S AY S ON IF LAMAR JACKSON SHOULD BE IN THE NFL MVP CONVERSATION: "I couldn't care less about any of that, and the beautiful thing is Lamar couldn’t care less either. What we care about is the game on [Monday]. That's one thing for sure. We're trying to be 1-0 this week. This is the most important week of the season to us, just like all the last weeks have been when they’ve come up. That’s really our singular focus that our guys have that I love, and that’s the way it’s supposed to be.”

( 11-3 )

QUICK HITS ✗ It's a Christmas night primetime battle when the two teams with the NFL's best records (11-3) square off on Monday Night Football. Entering Week 16, the Ravens own the AFC's No. 1 playoff seed, holding a one-game lead over the 10-4 Miami Dolphins, while San Francisco currently stands No. 1 in the NFC playoff race. ✗ Baltimore sits atop the AFC North standings with a two-game lead over the 9-5 Cleveland Browns. Following Monday's game at San Francisco, the Ravens will host Miami on New Year's Eve and then close regular season action vs. Pittsburgh. ✗ With three games to play, the Ravens have already clinched their 11th playoff berth during head coach John Harbaugh's 16 years at the helm. Only the Patriots (12) have earned more playoff berths than the Ravens since Coach Harbaugh's 2008 arrival. ✗ Baltimore is 4-2 all time against the 49ers, including its Super Bowl XLVII victory during the 2012 season. These teams last faced each other in 2019, when the Ravens won, 20-17, courtesy of a last-second, 49-yard K Justin Tucker FG at M&T Bank Stadium. ✗ In a 23-7 primetime road win at Jacksonville last Sunday night, the Ravens became the AFC's first team to clinch a playoff berth this season. Led by a dominant defense and an MVP-like performance from QB Lamar Jackson, Baltimore limited the Jaguars to 3-of-13 on third down and 0-for-3 in the red zone, while Jackson tallied a game-high 97 rushing yards on 12 carries (8.1 avg.), adding 171 yards and 1 TD (TE Isaiah Likely) on 14-of-24 passing. The Ravens racked up 251 rushing yards overall, including 204 in the second half (and 113 in the fourth quarter alone). DT Justin Madubuike posted 4 QB hits and 1 strip-sack, tying an NFL record with his 11th-consecutive game registering at least a half-sack.

Wed. Dec. 20: Thurs. Dec. 21: Fri.

Dec. 22:

I N J U RY U P DAT E Electric rookie RB Keaton Mitchell (IR) suffered a season-ending knee injury in last Sunday's win at Jacksonville. Additionally, CB Jalyn Armour-Davis (concussion), LT Ronnie Stanley (concussion) and S Marcus Williams (groin) left the Jags game and didn't return. In Week 11, All-Pro TE Mark Andrews (ankle) sustained what could be a season-ending injury vs. the Bengals, while standout RB J.K. Dobbins (Achilles) was injured in Week 1 and is on season-ending IR.

NOTE THE QUOTE NFL NETWORK'S JASON MCCOURTY ON THE RAVENS & LAMAR JACKSON: "To me, they are the scariest team in the AFC, and we see that with where they are ranked. ... For this Ravens team, there are different guys who can kill you on any given day, and Lamar Jackson is the guy at the helm making it all happen."
