UNDATED (AP) – The Baltimore Ravens are 10-2 after winning a matchup of two of the NFL’s best teams.  Justin Tucker drilled a 49-yard field goal as time expired to give the Ravens their eighth consecutive win, 20-17 over the San Francisco 49ers. Lamar Jackson prolonged the winning drive with a three-yard run on fourth-and-one and finished with 101 yards under miserable conditions in Baltimore.  Baltimore relied on its running game for points while Jackson completed just 14 of 23 passes for 105 yards and a lost fumble.  Raheem Mostert ran for a career-high 146 yards and a touchdown for the 10-2 49ers, who are tied with New Orleans for the best record in the NFC.  Niners quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo went 15 of 21 for 165 yards.
Baltimore now shares the AFC’s best record with New England following the Patriots’ 28-22 loss to the Texans. Deshaun Watson had 234 yards passing and threw touchdown passes of 14, 13, and 35 yards as Houston built a 21-3 lead against New England’s vaunted defense. Watson also had a TD catch on a short flip from receiver DeAndre Hopkins on a trick play from the 6-yard line to help the Texans improve to 8-4.  Tom Brady completed two of his three TD passes in the final 4 minutes to pull the Pats within six.
