Florio Predicts 49ers Rout, Stats Hint at Ravens’ Resilience
But even so, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talkand believes the Ravens will be beaten easily in Santa Clara. “As long as their key players are healthy, the 49ers will kick the s. out of everyone they face, andquot; Florio wrote. andquot; We’re aiming for second place…
The 49ers kicked the s. out of the. Ravens on Monday night I’m sorry. I know that’s disrespectful to the Ravens, but let’s be realistic. They have to fly across the country on Christmas night and the 49ers are waiting. And the 49ers will dismantle the Ravens.
If this is a preview of the Super Bowl, the Super Bowl is classless.” So Florio thinks it’s a walk in the park for the 49ers, but if we look at some stats, it might not be as lopsided as some think. The Ravens are first in rushing yards per game (163.8), fifth in third downs (35.4 percent), eighth in third downs (42 percent), 14th in sacks (21) and first in sacks (50). While the 49ers are third in rushing yards per game (139.9), 22nd in third downs (40 percent), third in rushing yards (47 percent), first in sacks (25) and seventh in sacks (43).
The teams go their separate ways in passing yards, with Baltimore (201.4 per game) and the 49ers (262.6) far apart. With both teams having Super Bowl intentions and playing like one this season, this could be a potential Super Bowl preview.
