🏈 NFL 2020 Monday Night Football Week # 3 Review: Kansas City Wins Big Showdown of the Unbeatens 🏈

Kansas City Chiefs

at

Baltimore Ravens

Yes, the defending champions did it. They showed why they rose to become champs last season in convincingly downing the previously undefeated – and seemingly incredibly dominant – Ravens in Baltimore.              

The Ravens took a lead in the first quarter after scoring a field goal, but the Chiefs scored a touchdown as an answer, taking the lead. They never trailed for the duration of the game, building their lead up and answering back each time the Ravens scored and tried to get back into the game the rest of the way.              

How impressive was the Kansas City offense last night?              

They produced an incredibly 517 total yards. Meanwhile, KC’s defense also stepped up, limiting the Ravens to just 220 total yards of offense. The Chiefs hung onto the ball for almost 34 minutes, and earned 29 first downs, to just 16 for the Ravens, who looked really flat pretty much all night.              

To their credit, the Ravens did manage to tighten the game early in the fourth quarter, when they scored a touchdown to make it 27-20. But Mahomes ended any remaining suspense minutes later when he found Eric Fisher for a 2-yard touchdown pass to ice the game. Mahomes ended the night having completed 31 of 42 passes for 385 yards and four touchdowns.              

In a losing effort for Baltimore, Lamar Jackson completed 15 of 28 passes for just 07 yards and one touchdown. He also led his team on the ground, earning 83 yards on nine carries. But it was obviously not enough.              

With the win, Kansas City remains one of six perfect teams, and one of four unbeaten teams in the AFC, one each for every division in the conference. They also pulled into sole possession of first place in the AFC West with the Raiders loss on Sunday. They will next take on the Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots at Arrowhead Stadium.              

For the Ravens, this was a disappointing loss, which saw them lose their first game. They now trail the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North. They will not have to travel far for their next game, as they visit the Washington Football Team next week.

My prediction: Inaccurate
