KC's defense looks like it might even be better than last year. That secondary is tight.

mahomes woulda ran everyone to the 10 yard line after the catch and spiked it with probably around 30 seconds left - and he would've made sure the chiefs scored a td with one of those 3 plays

that loss was on lamar - even though he's the only reason they were in the game - lack of time management and bad throws at the end did him in

Agree. Missed wide open guys in the endzone twice before that last play. He shouldn't need three tries to hit open receivers

I've always said that Lamar is more of a RB playing the QB position. Last night he really looked that way as he rumbled for over 100 rushing yards. However while he was able to hit the short and short intermediate passes OK, his deep balls looked terrible all game. Every one of his deep throws were just way off target. Then at the end of the game he missed those two wide open receivers in the endzone on consecutive plays that would have tied up the game. Lamar didn't look like a MVP last night IMO.

Also the Ravens as a whole just looked off. Way too many penalties, mental errors and blown coverages.

Somehow Lamar Jackson, future hall of fame quarterback, is underrated


Ehh he showed at the end why he is. 2 wide open guys in the endzone one throw high nearly injures Likely, then next play he throws behind WIDE open Zay Jones.

He's a great player but he misses way too many of those throws.

In case nobody else said it aside from the misses on the last drive the biggest play of the game was Mahomes outjumping 2 defenders for that tipped pass, they would have had had WAY more time if that gets picked because of field position. I'm still not sure how he got that ball that was just a great reaction.

The miss was to Likely. Clean pocket. Too much air underneath it and it sailed.

Lamar said he was throwing to a spot on the Zay Flowers play. Apparently Bateman was supposed to sit in the middle of the zone. He didn't see Zay as he was scrambling. If Zay fills the spot Bateman was supposed to be then all look better for it.

Play of the game imo. Ravens arent stressing as much with 40 extra seconds.

Yes, I would like to know that answer and why @kerouac9 gave a thumbs down to MadCard's post
