With the 49ers looking shaky on both sides of the ball, the Ravens have jumped out to the first lead of the game.

Baltimore’s up 7-0 after Joe Flacco’s 13-yard pass to Anquan Boldin, a drive which was helped along by a 49ers penalty on third down. Flacco was 3-of-4 for 41 yards on the first drive.

Coupled with their illegal formation penalty on the game’s opening drive and some communication issues in the secondary, the 49ers look a little unsteady in the early going, a fact not helped by the decidedly pro-Baltimore crowd.
