Warner has been the 49ers’ best player on defense since Kwon Alexander went down with his injury. The last three games, Warner has 29 tackles, 3.0 sacks and two forced fumbles. He’s going to be an important piece at the second-level of the defense against an elite Baltimore running game. The Ravens thrive on creating havoc in the second level, and Warner can take away a lot of what they want to do on the ground and in the air with a strong effort Sunday.
