The San Francisco 49ers (10-1) will take on their toughest challenge in 2019 as they hit the road to face MVP candidate Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens (9-2). The Ravens create a multitude of problems for every team they have faced this season. However, the 49ers have managed to make most of their opponents look pedestrian.

They may find that to be difficult in week 13 as no team has been able to crack the code to the Ravens' offense. This game comes down to how much the 49ers' defense limits Jackson and his offense. It'll be quite the challenge for the 49ers, not just because the Ravens are elite, but because this also a road game. The 49ers could start this game slow and groggy since it is 10am PST on their body clocks.

As much of an uphill climb this game will be for the 49ers, they have turned many positions of adversity into success. Could today be another example of it?

49ers inactives

Ravens inactives

1st Quarter

15:00 - 49ers will open the game with the ball. They like to score and get ahead early as part of their game plan. Early start time and pouring rain for them could create challenges for them.

11:53 - The 49ers strike blood first with a gorgeous throw to Deebo Samuel who absolutely owned Marcus Peters on the route ran. Early start time had no impact on that first drive for the 49ers.

49ers 7 Ravens 0

7:30 - The defense of the 49ers hold strong against the Ravens on offense. A great start so far for the red and gold. Let's see if they can keep it up on their second offensive drive

6:20 - Fumble! Jimmy Garoppolo puts the ball on the ground as he is strip-sacked. Ravens are gifted amazing field position just outside of the redzone.

5:41 - Baltimore makes the 49ers pay for their mistake with a touchdown pass from Lamar Jackson to Mark Andrews. This game wasn't going to be easy for the 49ers. There is little room for error for them and they already used up that room on that fumble. If the 49ers shoot themselves in the foot this game, they have no shot.

49ers 7 Ravens 7

4:13 - Three and out for the 49ers on their third possession. Defense will be forced to come back out quick. A key to this game is by controlling the time of possession for the 49ers. They cannot afford to have more of these drives. 

End of quarter

2nd Quarter

13:29 - 49ers had the Ravens' offense stopped on third down, but a costly roughing the passer penalty gives them new life. Ravens have been driving hard and are poised to score a touchdown on this drive.

11:58 - Touchdown Ravens on a quarterback keeper for Lamar Jackson. Just an outright methodical drive for the offense of the Ravens. The 49ers had them stopped but mistakes helped sustained the Ravens' drive. 

49ers 7 Ravens 14

9:12 - 49ers answer right back with a touchdown of their own. Raheem Mostert to the house on huge run. Jimmy Garoppolo delivered a couple of big time throws. Excellent drive for the 49ers who needed a score on that drive. With how their defense has gone about so far, this could be a shootout. Ravens offense will come back out to retake the lead.

49ers 14 Ravens 14

4:58 - 49ers stop the Ravens on third down, but John Harbuagh decides to go for it on fourth down, which they end up converting on. 49ers are still struggling to slow down the Ravens.

1:58 - Defense of the 49ers is able to limit the damage of Jackson and the offense to a field goal. That should be considered a huge win for the 49ers who were getting gashed that drive. With the Ravens set to receiver the second half kickoff, the 49ers will want to get at least a field goal on this last offensive drive.

49ers 14 Ravens 17

0:04 - Two-minute drill for the 49ers to make a last minute score. However, the clock management by Kyle Shanahan was atrocious. 49ers didn't end up using their first time out until 20 seconds left. Robbie Gould had a chance to tie the game up but he missed wide right as time expired.

Halftime

3rd Quarter

12:03 - Strip! Marcell Harris who just came in for Jaquaski Tartt rips the ball away from Jackson to stop the Ravens in their tracks. An unbelievable play that the 49ers needed to turn the tide.

11:08 - Raheem Mostert is running the football with great resolve. He has been the best offensive player for the 49ers. His patience and stellar vision is why he is ripping off enormous gains.

5:14 - 49ers go for it on fourth down and come up short. However, they catch a break on a defensive pass interference call on Marlon Humphrey.

3:37 - We have a tie ball game in Baltimore. 49ers equalize it with a Robbie Gould field goal. The offense controlled the ball for almost nine minutes, which gave the defense some much needed rest. 

49ers 17 Ravens 17

2:26 - 49ers' D.J. Jones is down on the field. He would walk off the field under his own power.

1:43 - 49ers stop the Ravens' offense, but John Harbaugh challenges whether or not there was defensive pass interference on Jimmie Ward. The call would stand as a no call. Wise decision by the referees as Ward was simply making a play on the ball and almost came away with an interception.

End of quarter

4th Quarter

12:21 - Offense of the 49ers moves the ball a bit, but a delay of game penalty kills the drive. 49ers forced to punt. Ravens will get the ball back.

9:38 - On 4th-and-5, Baltimore chooses to go for it and come up empty. Fred Warner caused the pass breakup. Warner has been playing at an All-Pro level the last few weeks. 49ers' offense has a chance to take the lead and put serious pressure on the Ravens.

49ers 17 Ravens 17

6:28 - 49ers attempt a fourth down conversion of their own, but they fail to execute. Turnover on downs and the Ravens will take over. Missed opportunity for the 49ers on that drive.

2:00 - Baltimore converts on a critical third down and they now control this game. They can bleed the clock and attempt a field goal to win this game.

0:03 - The kick is good. The Ravens serve the 49ers their second loss of the season as time expires on Justin Tucker's kick. 49ers played strong, but coaching deserves the blame for this loss. 

Final: 49ers 17 Ravens 20
