Mike Florio has trolled himself, having gotten embarrassed by the Ravens and called out by Lamar Jackson.
The Baltimore quarterback had some choice words for the ProFootballTalk reporter following his “disrespectful” prediction ahead of Monday night’s showdown between the Ravens and 49ers.
The Ravens forced Brock Purdy to have the worst game of his life, with the younger QB throwing four interceptions as his team got steamrolled.
“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,” Florio claimed ahead of the game.
The Niners ended up losing 33-19, after which Jackson called Florio out, referring to him as “Mike Flores” while walking through the tunnel.
“You can’t just discredit us,” he told reporters thereafter. “We grown men, we got to feed our families. He can have his opinion but just don’t be talking like that. That’s disrespectful. That’s very disrespectful. Not to take away from the 49ers at all, like they’re great all across the board, but we gone come to play as well. Our record not no fluke. We play ball and we showed that.”

Florio took to X to issue an apology to Lamar and the Ravens
“Lamar is right,” he wrote. “I apologize for how I phrased my opinion. I believed the 49ers were dramatically better than every other team in the NFL: Cowboys, Eagles, Chiefs, Dolphins, everyone. The Ravens proved otherwise. They deserve complete and total respect for what they accomplished.”
He followed that up with a tweet in which he jokingly claimed the Dolphins will get their rears handed to them by the Ravens when they meet in Week 17.
