Against three first-place squads this year, the 49ers, Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars, the Ravens won by a 94-32 margin. That doesn’t include a 37-3 beatdown of the Seattle Seahawks, who entered the Week 9 game in Baltimore in first place in the NFC West.
“I believe we play better under pressure,” said Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who threw for 252 yards and two touchdowns and didn’t turn the ball over against a San Francisco defense that hunts takeaways. “We keep our poise. We stay locked in no matter how the game may seem, no matter what the crowd noise is, no matter how hard the defense is hitting us, because that defense was flying around.
