Ravens vs 49ers: The battle of behemoths
The Ravens’ QB Lamar Jackson is the side’s best offensive weapon. His 3105 yards with 17 touchdowns, passer rating of 96.5, and pass completion rate of 66.3 is impressive, to say the least. But let that not fool you. The Ravens offense is much more than just Jackson. On a dry day for the QB, they can create chances and win a game on their own, something that was proved during their 20-10 dismantling of the Chargers.

The 49ers, on the other hand, have the most lethal offense this season. QB Brock Purdy’s 3795 yards for 9.9 yards/attempt, 69.8 completion rate, 29 touchdowns, and 119 passer rating by far makes him the best QB in the league. It is surprising to think that Purdy was referred to as Mr. Irrelevant last season. Additionally, RB Christian McCaffrey is another MVP contender from the side with 1292 yards and 13 touchdowns.
