NFL Week 16 -- The Legend of the Christmas Raven

Unless he leads an amazing comeback, Purdy already lost his chance at MVP. Lamar will be the front-runner, but it should be McCaffrey.

Rare season where no QB put up crazy stats, but it's pretty much their award.

 

49ers' defense has been on their own side of the 50 most of the night and the score finally reflects it.

 

Purdy gave his team no chance tonight, so yeah, his MVP candidacy is over.

 

This is the Ravens almost out-49ering the Niners. SF kills you with really opportunistic defense and using their four offensive weapons in a variety of ways. As good as the Ravens have been on defense, they have been finding a lot of chunk plays on offense with Jackson extending time and finding guys in space.

 

If Lamar L. Jackson continues this, they might wait until the AFC Championship game before imploding.

 

Darnold for MVP?

 

Never mind.

 

The 49ers have lost to the Ravens, Browns and Bengals.

 

Last 9 MNF underdogs have won straight-up.

 

Oh, boy, a whole week of "well, maybe Purdy isn't the second coming" stories in Bay area media.

 

On this Boxing Day, I gotta say: There was never a better heavyweight fighter than Larry Holmes.

 

That’s fine. Look Montana threw 3 picks before The Catch. It happens.
Niners still own all tiebreakers in NFC and that’s the most important thing. (As I shake the disgust out of my head this Christmas night)
