In a contest that was billed as a probable Super Bowl preview, the Ravens traveled to the West Coast and soundly defeated the 49ers on their home field. San Francisco outgained Baltimore by 86 net yards and 0.9 yards per play. However, Baltimore dominated the turnover battle five to none, including four interceptions of former MVP candidate Brock Purdy. The well rounded and battle tested Ravens will secure the AFC’s top playoff seed with a victory over Miami in Week 17.

The battered and bruised blocking unit stepped up to the challenge of facing the 49ers front and delivered a strong performance despite losing Zeitler to a thigh injury and Mekari to a head injury during the game.
