Two of the best teams in the NFL square off in a pivotal Monday night match this week.
The AFC-leading Baltimore Ravens play on the road against the NFC-leading San Francisco 49ers in what could be a Super Bowl preview.
But lately, a lot of the talk has been about the 49ers and their MVP candidates in quarterback Brock Purdy and running back Christian McCaffrey.
The Ravens have one of the best overall rosters in the NFL, have the second-highest point differential in the league, and are tied with the 49ers with an 11-3 record.
However, they’re considered underdogs against the 49ers, and that idea bothered Fox Sports analyst and former NFL wideout Keyshawn Johnson.
“They’re not getting any love in this situation, Johnson said. “So yes, you’re going to feel disrespected. And they have a right to.”

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is an MVP candidate in his own right during another sensational year.
He’s thrown for 3,105 passing yards with 17 touchdown passes and seven interceptions as well as 741 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns.
Baltimore has also won four consecutive games and has lost their three matches by 12 combined points.
The Ravens already have the best scoring defense in the NFL and the fourth-best scoring offense.
So while the talk may be all on the 49ers’ side, the Ravens stand as one of the best teams in the NFL on their own merit.
Whatever happens on Monday could then change the narrative around the team, as a win would cement Baltimore as the best team in the league.
