Booger McFarland has declared a certain NFL outfit “the best team in football” after taking Week 16’s action in.
The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle reckons the Baltimore Ravens are the top contenders for the Super Bowl following their dismantling of the San Francisco 49ers in what was an entertaining Christmas night showdown.
Lamar Jackson led the Ravens to a 33-19 win over San Francisco, with the defense containing former MVP favorite Brock Purdy with very little difficulty, forcing four interceptions from the young quarterback and rendering him ineffective.
“Ravens plane won’t land till 6 am if they come home tonight. That’s gonna be one hell Of a plane ride. No doubt who the best team in football is Baltimore left no questions,” Booger tweeted on Monday.
The win left the Ravens with the best record in the league, 12-3, ahead of their Week 17 clash with the Miami Dolphins. That one’s looking like it’s going to be another thriller, with both AFC sides seemingly the real deal this season.
The Ravens are still the favorite to come out of the AFC and, should things work out the way they hope, they could see the Niners soon enough, with Kyle Shanahan’s side still expected to emerge from the NFC despite their recent slip-up.
