A 49ers-Ravens Super Bowl would be intense. Watching these teams feel each other out was fascinating. It was 17-14 in favor of Baltimore at halftime, with both sides moving the ball consistently. But a series of defensive adjustments led to both offenses disappearing. The second half consisted of just seven drives, which resulted in two punts, two turnovers on downs, a fumble and two field goals. While the game didn’t match the scoring of last year’s 54-51 thriller between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Rams, it had every bit as much intensity, and for much of the second half there was a feeling that whichever team ended up with the ball last would win. Lamar Jackson and the Ravens made that a reality by grinding out the final 6 minutes 28 seconds with a drive that took 12 plays to go just 34 yards before Justin Tucker’s game-winning 49-yard field goal.



Baltimore and San Francisco are two of the three most likely teams to make the Super Bowl, according to The Upshot, with New England being the third. Getting a chance to see the 49ers and Ravens face off again — after their offenses get a chance to watch the film and see what they were doing wrong — would be an absolute treat.
