The 49ers couldn’t have asked for a better start. The defense forced Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens to go three-and-out. Then, on offense, George Kittle caught an intermediate pass and raced 58 yards to put the offense in scoring position.
After another completion to Kittle, Brock Purdy threw it to the opposite colored jersey. He failed to acknowledge the safety on the opposite side of the field, Kyle Hamilton, and threw an interception. The only way this game was going to be close was if the 49ers turned the ball over.
The 49ers defense was the first unit to get on the scoreboard.
