The Ravens QB threw for 321 yards and five touchdowns.
It was Jackson's first five-touchdown game since his 2019 NFL MVP season.
Social media was awash with fans celebrating Jackson's heroics amidst unwarranted criticism from some sections of the media.
Last week NBC analyst Mike Florio was forced to apologize for suggesting the 49ers would "kick the s***" out of Lamar and the Ravens.

Earlier this week a national radio host said Jackson is a “great athlete” but not “quarterbacky” enough to win MVP.
NBA icon LeBron James took to X to congratulate Jackson for defying the haters.
"Ok so what y’all gone say about @Lj_era8 MVP nod now????!!! Always on some hatin when it comes to him. Man give him the trophy now!"
James later added: "Quarterbacky huh!?!? NAAAAHHHHH!! H.I.M."

One Baltimore fan shared a never-seen-before picture of Lamar as an elementary student.
The adorable picture of the future NFL star received hundreds of replies.
"MVP!" wrote one fan.
"That's a future 2xNFL MVP right there," said another.
"MVP! End of discussion," wrote a third.
Jackson was named MVP in 2019 and if he wins the accolade again this year he will become the first player in history to win multiple MVPs as well as the Heisman Trophy.
Jackson also had a perfect passer rating against Miami in 2019 and he joins Tom Brady as the only quarterbacks with two perfect ratings against the same team.
The Ravens' 56 points against Miami are tied for the most against a team that entered a game with at least 10 wins in the Super Bowl era.
It is also the largest margin of victory over a club with 10 or more wins since 2009, when the New York Jets beat the Cincinnati Bengals 37-0.
