Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson went in on an NFL reporter following Baltimore’s statement win over the 49ers on Monday night.
The top side in the ACF handled the top side in the NFC in an ‘MNF’ affair, with Jackson leading his team to a 33-19 road win to snag the best record in the NFL (12-3).
Brock Purdy, on the other hand, had an outing to forget, having become the first Niners QB to throw four interceptions since 2015. He ended up getting taken out of the game after leaving the field to get checked for an injury.
The result likely came as a shock to ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio, who had tipped San Francisco to wipe the floor with the Ravens.
“The 49ers kick the S- out of the Ravens, I’m sorry I know that’s disrespectful to the Ravens, but let’s be realistic…the 49ers are going to dismantle the Ravens,” he predicted before the game.
Following the victory, Lamar called Florio out, referring to him as “Mike Flores” as he walked through the tunnel.

He continued going at the reporter while speaking to the media in his postgame presser.
“You can’t just discredit us,” he said. “[Florio] can have his opinion but just don’t be talking like that. That’s disrespectful. That’s very disrespectful.”
“[Florio] needs to keep doing his job and just don’t come off like that towards us,” the QB added. “That’s disrespectful, like I said, cause he isn’t putting the pads on. If he were putting the pads on I feel he would’ve meant different for me. He wouldn’t say that. He would be respectful. I say that we are respectful to our opponents. Our opponents are respectful to us. But the guy we’re not even playing against just come out being disrespectful to us.
“I guess [Florio] wanted more views on his little channel. We’re going to leave it at that.”
This is just the sort of smoke we need for the holidays.
