Chiefs defeat Ravens 27-20 in dramatic NFL season opener
Chiefs Hold Off Ravens in Thrilling Season Opener
The Kansas City Chiefs kicked off their quest for a third straight Super Bowl with a nail-biting 27-20 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. The game came down to the final play, where a touchdown catch by Ravens' Isaiah Likely was overturned upon review.
Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs with 291 passing yards and a touchdown, while rookie Xavier Worthy made an immediate impact with two touchdowns in his NFL debut. On the Ravens' side, Lamar Jackson showcased his dual-threat abilities, throwing for 273 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 122 yards.
Definitely nerve-wracking because it looked good from my angle on the sideline, but then the first view you could see his cleat.
Despite a valiant late-game rally by the Ravens, the Chiefs managed to secure their fifth win in six meetings against Baltimore. The dramatic finish sets the stage for what promises to be an exciting NFL season.
