Game Day: Baltimore Ravens at San Francisco 49ers

Oct 18, 2015 at 12:00 AM--


Today, the San Francisco 49ers (1-4) will host the Baltimore Ravens (1-4) at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

The Ravens are coming off of a 33-30 defeat against the Cleveland Browns. The 49ers are coming off of a 30-27 defeat against the New York Giants.


It has been 32 months since the 49ers and Ravens faced each other in Super Bowl XLVII. Much has changed for both teams. The Ravens' season has been plagued by injuries while a turmoil-filled offseason devastated the 49ers.

Only six current 49ers players started in that game. Two 49ers, WR Anquan Boldin and WR Torrey Smith, were with the Ravens at the time and the entire 49ers coaching staff is different. This marks the sixth overall meeting between the two clubs with San Francisco hosting Baltimore for the first time since 2007.

During the team's loss to the Giants, the 49ers rushed for 124 yards on 27 attempts (4.6 average). RB Carlos Hyde finished with 21 carries for 93 yards (4.4 average) and registered his third touchdown of the season.


Boldin registered eight receptions for 107 yards and one touchdown. It was his 37th career game with 100-or-more receiving yards. TE Garrett Celek registered his first career touchdown reception on a five-yard pass from QB Colin Kaepernick in the fourth quarter. The defense was highlighted by CB Tramaine Brock, who intercepted Giants QB Eli Manning in the end zone for his second interception of the season and ninth of his career.

"We're going to go out to San Francisco. It's going to be something that's going to be tough and challenging. It's a good football team. They have a lot of good players. We know a lot of those guys personally. We practiced against them last year. We know the team well. We have to go find a way to play our best and win the game, and that's all we need to be thinking about right now, and that's all we'll be focusing on." – Ravens head coach John Harbaugh

Both Boldin and Torrey Smith will be facing their old team for the first time during the regular season. Smith signed with the 49ers during the offseason. It is a team that knows him well and a team he knows well. He practiced against Ravens CB Jimmy Smith and will now be pitted against him in a game.

"I know Torrey so well. We're like brothers. I know his moves, he knows my moves. So, it's going to be fun out there. I'm pretty sure we're going to get out there and have some plays where we're actually just laughing at each other at the end. But, I think it's going to be a great matchup." – Ravens CB Jimmy Smith.

This is the first of two home games within 5 days for the 49ers. Following their matchup with the Ravens, the 49ers will have to begin preparing for a Thursday night game against the Seattle Seahawks.

Javon Hargrave: 49ers-Eagles would have been a different game with a healthy Brock Purdy

By David Bonilla
Mar 17

Everything changed in the NFC Championship Game when quarterback Brock Purdy exited early with an injury. He eventually returned because his backup, Josh Johnson, exited with a concussion. Purdy could not throw, though. He suffered a tear of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow, leaving the San Francisco 49ers to become one-dimensional, abandoning the pass and depending solely on the run game. For fans, it was a difficult game to watch. Everyone anticipated a more evenly matched battle between the two best teams in the NFC. Instead, they got an Eagles powerhouse defense going against a limping 49ers offense. "We kind of knew it was going to be different when all you can do is run the ball," former Eagles defensive tackle Javon Hargrave said

49ers considered trading Mike McGlinchey last year

By David Bonilla
22 hrs

Mike McGlinchey received a life-changing payday, signing a five-year, $87.5 million deal with the Denver Broncos. The offensive tackle has known for a while that he would not return to the San Francisco 49ers, the only NFL team he has played for and the one that made him the No. 9 overall pick in 2018. General manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan made it clear to McGlinchey that he was likely playing his final months for the team. There was too much money invested in other spots, and the 49ers knew they couldn't compete with other interested teams. Behind the scenes, Lynch and Shanahan kept McGlinchey in the loop of what the team was thinking, and everything pointed to the tackle playing elsewhere in 2023 … maybe even
