San Francisco 49ers end four-game losing streak with win over

“We strive to do that, but we don’t always get that”.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. catches a touchdown pass from quarterback Joe Flacco while covered by San Francisco 49ers cornerback Kenneth Acker during their game in Santa Clara on Sunday, October 18, 2015.

-Ravens kicker Justin Tucker slipped on the Levi’s Stadium sod at the 35-yard line, causing a 45-yard field-goal attempt to clank off the right upright with 13:37 remaining and the 49ers ahead 19-13. They came in today, jumped to a quick 13-3 lead and dominated the Ravens despite the 25-20 score.

ESPN’s Total Quarterback Rating puts him 29th among 33 qualified passers while the game charters at Pro Football Focus puts him 33rd out of their 36 qualified passers. We understand that. That’s the arena we’re in. “But we knew it’d come down to us, and we needed one more stop, and we got it”, Reid added. The offense moved the ball well through the air, the defense bent a lot, but didn’t break often, and the special teams came through big.

“We trust Torrey’s ability to make those plays down the field”, Tomsula said. “… But we had two stupid mistakes by myself”.

“We felt like we had good matchups all the way across the board, and we wanted to try to take advantage of it”, Smith said.

Steve Smith caught a 34-yard TD pass in the third, but the Ravens (1-5) are reeling through the worst start in franchise history. No sacks for the second straight game.

“We feel, as a team, if we play how we are capable of playing we’ll be OK”, 49ers wide receiver Anquan Boldin, who had five receptions for 102 yards, said.

Kaepernick passed for a season-high 340 yards, completing 16 of 27 passes with the two touchdowns and no interceptions. “You’re going to expect contact”.

It’s really not fair to factor out Kapernick’s woeful games and penalize other passers for theirs, but let’s just stroll through his game log and see how he would stack up if his Week 3 and Week 4 just disappeared.

The Ravens will look to establish the run first with running back Justin Forsett, as he had a huge game rushing for 121 yards last week. The 49ers made a point of targeting their former defensive back who also gave up the game-winning touchdown to Patton later in the game.

As Smith put it, there’s a lot of work to be done to turn around the season.

The San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has frequently been criticized this season of the National Football League (NFL), and for pretty affirmative reason.

The missed opportunity immediately cost the Ravens.

“I said it wasn’t a big deal”.

It seems stupid to say out loud, but you can’t fault it for accuracy.

But the 49ers weren’t through.

The defense did get shredded again by a veteran QB, but this time, the 49ers were able to intercept two passes-and they held on the final drive for the opponent, unlike last week against the New York Giants. Arrington left the game early with an ailment, which precipitated Wright’s presence on the long touchdown play.

Hayne has just four days to prepare for the 49ers’ next game when they host bitter rivals the Seattle Seahawks, who also have a two-win, four-loss record and are battling to stay in playoff contention.

Halloween is still about two weeks away, but this Ravens season has turned decidedly scary.
