Opportunistic Ravens blitz 49ers with third-quarter push

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The Baltimore Ravens intercepted San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy four times and used a 17-point third quarter blitz to pull away to a 33-19 victory Monday night at Levi's Stadium.

Baltimore moved to an NFL-best 12-3, using two quick third-quarter touchdowns to turn a 16-12 halftime lead into a decisive 30-12 advantage. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson made an MVP statement against the 49ers (11-4), throwing for 252 yards and two touchdown passes while adding 45 yards on the ground. Sam Darnold rallied the 49ers to a fourth-quarter touchdown after replacing an injured Purdy, but it was too little, too late.
