I don't see it that way at all. Not to take anything away from the Ravens, but that game was an anomaly. If they play 10 times, IMO the Niners get at least a split.49ers cants seem to hold the Ravens jock.
Purdy with 4 picks and counting.
Hot damn this is a very Merry Christmas indeed!
Purdy had an awful game, and although it's not an excuse, those batted passes seemed to have eyes or some sort of anti-gravity device in them, finding their way into defender's hands. I don't know what percentage of deflected passes are intercepted, but my guess is that it's in the neighborhood of 5% or less. The Ravens were living right last night.
If you take a look at the stats, the Niners won most of those, more yards passing, more yards rushing, ran more plays, and gained more yards per play. But you're not going to win a game turning the ball over 5 times while the other team doesn't turn it over at all.
The Ravens deserve all the accolades you're giving them and then some. But to say the Niners can't hold their jock is way over the top.
