Lamar is something like 20-1 versus the NFC in his career now? That is a crazy stat. It was suggested that one reason he has so much success versus the NFC is because NFC teams rarely go up against him and there is no other player in the league like him. Can't even run a scout team QB to simulate his abilities. Now that these 49ers got an up close look at how well he plays, they should be better equipped if there's a rematch.
Can't be sure without the all22 but to me it seemed as though the BAL defenders were not letting Brock's eyes manipulate them when they were in zone. That, along with the turnovers did in the 49ers. In hindsight, more CMC running the ball could have helped, and at one point I thought Kyle was trying to get Brock his MVP award.
That's exactly how it felt to me. He was trying to showcase him as a passer in front of the national audience.
