49ers grades in blowout Christmas night loss to Ravens Rushing offense

SANTA CLARA — After six consecutive victories of at least 12-point margins, the 49ers learned what it’s like to be on the other side Monday night.

The Baltimore Ravens came to town and pummeled the 49ers in a supposed matchup of NFL powerhouses.

The Ravens lived up to the billing, and the 49ers looked like pushovers in a 33-19 loss to the AFC’s top team on Christmas night at Levi’s Stadium.

Let’s get right to the report card, and you can be sure it will not be the kind of present the 49ers wanted to see under their tree:

Rushing offense

Running back Christian McCaffrey had a typical Christian McCaffrey game, but it made little difference on this night.

The league’s leading rusher gained 103 yards and one touchdown on 14 rushing attempts

The 49ers gained 121 yards on the night, with Sam Darnold checking in with a 9-yard scramble to be the team’s second-leading rusher.

The 49ers’ only problem with the run game is that they were not able to avoid giveaways. If they had taken care of the ball better, they would have been able to keep drives going and produce a greater volume of run plays.
