Game Notes
For only the second time since the 1970 merger, two teams with a share of the league's best record will meet in Week 16 or later when BALTIMORE (11-3) visits SAN FRANCISCO (11-3) on Christmas night (5:15 p.m. PT). The only other game in that period involving teams that shared the league's best record this late in a season was January 2, 1994, when Dallas defeated the New York Giants en route to victory in Super Bowl XXVIII.
- Last week, the Ravens clinched their fifth playoff berth in six seasons and need a Christmas win to continue the march toward their first AFC North division title since 2019. In road games, Baltimore also owns the NFL's best winning percentage (.857, 6-1).
- In last week's win, Ravens quarterback LAMAR JACKSON recorded 97 yards on 12 carries. His 54 career games of 50 or more rushing yards are tied with MICHAEL VICK (54) for the most by a quarterback in NFL history. Jackson also has 13 career victories against teams at least three games above .500, more than any starting quarterback since 2018, when he entered the league.
- Also last week, Ravens defensive tackle JUSTIN MADUBUIKE became only the third player since 1982, when the individual sack became an official statistic, to record at least half a sack in 11 consecutive games during a season, joining TREY HENDRICKSON (11 straight games in 2021) and CHRIS JONES (11 consecutive games in 2018)
- Baltimore (163.8) leads the NFL in rushing yards per game, while San Francisco's defense (89.4) has allowed the third-fewest ground yards per contest in 2023.
- Niners quarterback BROCK PURDY leads the NFL in both touchdown passes (29) and passer rating (119.0) and ranks second with 3,795 passing yards. Purdy has six games with a passer rating of 130 or higher this season, tied for the most such games in a season in NFL history.
- San Francisco running back CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY has 6,018 rushing yards and 4,265 receiving yards since entering the NFL in 2017. He's the third player ever with 6,000 rushing yards and 4,000 receiving yards in his first seven seasons, joining Pro Football Hall of Famer MARSHALL FAULK and ROGER CRAIG. McCaffrey also has 499 receptions in 89 NFL games and can surpass Faulk (112 games) as the fastest running back to reach 500 career catches all-time.
