In a pivotal NFL showdown, the Baltimore Ravens outclassed the San Francisco 49ers with a 33-19 win, highlighted by a formidable defensive showing that led to five interceptions from 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy. Entering the game as a top MVP contender with odds at -250, Purdy's MVP prospects took a hit as his odds shifted to +400 after throwing four interceptions for the first time in his career. The Ravens' defense played a crucial role, with safety Kyle Hamilton and DB Brandon Stephens making significant contributions, as the 49ers experienced their first three-interception first half this season. Meanwhile, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson put forth what coach John Harbaugh called an 'MVP game,' amassing 252 passing yards, two touchdowns, and 45 rushing yards. His commanding performance has shifted the MVP odds in his favor to -160. The Ravens' offense was also in sync, scoring on seven consecutive drives, a feat last achieved against the 49ers 18 years ago. Purdy completed 10 of 19 passes for 148 yards, while the Ravens improved their record to 12-3, the best in the NFL, and edged closer to securing the AFC's No. 1 seed with a win over the Dolphins in their upcoming game.

This is the first time in his young career that #49ers QB Brock Purdy has thrown multiple interceptions in the first half of a game. Purdy had never thrown a pick when targeting Deebo entering tonight. Both of these picks were for him.
In a game where the score looks like baseball, the Ravens come through with a volleyball-looking turnover. A blitzing Brandon Stephens bats Brock Purdy's pass to Marlon Humphrey for an interception. Ravens trail, 5-3, early in 2Q.
A hell of a play by Ravens DB Brandon Stephens, who reacts to the screen for Deebo by deflecting it into the air and into the arms of Marlon Humphrey. That's the second interception of the night for #49ers QB Brock Purdy.
