Coming into the Week 16 showdown on Christmas Day, the Baltimore Ravens will have the tall task of scoring points on Nick Bosa while also trying to contain potential NFL MVP quarterback Brock Purdy of the San Francisco 49ers.
It will be the game of the week in the NFL, with many believing this matchup could be a Super Bowl preview of the best in the NFC going head-to-head with the AFC’s best squad, both led by MVP-caliber quarterbacks in Purdy and Lamar Jackson.
Although Jackson has had a stellar season up to this point, leading the Ravens to the best record in the AFC, Purdy is favored to win the MVP over the Baltimore superstar as he has been incredible thus far this season and as efficient as any quarterback in the NFL.
Ahead of facing Purdy on Monday, Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton spoke to the media and praised the 49ers quarterback for what he’s been able to do while shedding the label as a “system quarterback” under head coach Kyle Shanahan, via Ari Meirov.

Time and time again, Purdy has faced challenges and come out on top, but this time around, he will really be put to the test against a team and an opposing quarterback that doesn’t lose to NFC teams.
The Ravens will be arguably Purdy’s toughest challenge, as the NFL MVP award may very well be on the line on Christmas Day, as well as the distinction as the league’s best team with the NFL playoffs right around the corner.
