Analysis of the Ravens' 25-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers:
Ron Fritz, sports editor: Although the Ravens showed incredible fight, they killed themselves with mistakes. Two interceptions, letting Torrey Smith and Anquan Boldin get behind the defense and more dropped passes and potential interceptions earned the Ravens another loss. And they did earn it. Sure, they’ve lost their five games by a total of 22 points, but there’s little solace in that when you miss the playoffs.
Jon Meoli, reporter: Another tight game at the end, yes, but it’s how they arrived there that was painfully familiar.
