The Ravens were out in front against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday with 5:56 left in the last quarter to go. However, they lacked a single big play to claim the victory in the game and ended up losing in a valiant 33-30 effort. Quarterback, Joe Flacco had a very acceptable game, going 19 of 35 for 210 yards and a touchdown. He was also only sacked once, while running back, Justin Forsett propelled himself to a 121 rushing yards total and a score on 21 carries. Receptions were quite lacklustre on Baltimore’s team though, thanks to leading receiver, Steve Smith being out with a back injury.
The loss brought Baltimore to a record of 1-4 this season. Offensively, they’ve managed to score an average of 24.6 points per game, ranking them 10th, while defence hasn’t lived up to any sort of expectations, allowing 378.6 yards on average per game, positioning the team in 24th. While the aforementioned Flacco has completed 121 of his 194 attempted passes so far this season, according to official stats, he’s also been sacked eight times over, losing 52 yards in the process. The Ravens have also only managed a single forced fumble, thanks to Elvis Dumervil.
The 49ers are in the same boat as Baltimore, currently having a record of 1-4 this season. Last week saw them slip through the cracks again, losing out to the New York Giants in a match that ended with a 30-27 score. With under two minutes to go in the fourth quarter, Colin Kaepernick engineered a seven-play, 80-yard drive to push the score to a 27-23 lead for San Francisco. However, it wasn’t enough to keep the Giants from bringing out the comeback play that led to the 49ers’ downfall. Kaepernick played well enough throughout the match, going 23-of-35 for 262 yards and two touchdowns.
The 49ers are unfortunately ranked 32nd and 29th for average points gained per match of 15 and average yards gained per match of 307.2, respectively. Such positioning doesn’t bode well for the team, and their defensive play holds little higher ground, ranked 31st for giving up a huge average of 406.8 yards per game. While Kaepernick and running back, Carlos Hyde are playing well, they need the support of the entire team to bring San Fran on track. There’s only been four touchdowns claimed in reception and a single forced fumble by defensive tackle, Tank Carradine.

Free NLF Pick
Two 1-4 teams coming off of two close losses last week, so part of this game will come down to the emotional state of the teams. The other part will be the health of the Ravens. Baltimore is beat up. Real beat up. They may still be without starting WR Steve Smith Sr. and now maybe without their starting RB Justin Forsett. The injuries don’t end there. Their defense may be without as many as four starters this week. SF QB Colin Kapernick looked good last week in the loss and it appears that his confidence may be back.
