It took them a little while to really get untracked, but once the Kansas City Chiefs get going, they can score very, very quickly.Patrick Mahomesand company scored four times in the second quarter for the second consecutive week, withLeSean McCoy,Demarcus Robinson, andMecole Hardmanfinding the end zone, andHarrison Butkerknocking a 42-yard field goal through the uprights.
The Ravens had staked themselves to a 6-0 lead with a 14-play touchdown drive on their first possession of the game, which came complete with a fourth-down conversion. The Kansas City defense in the first half surprisingly bottled up Lamar Jackson, who entered halftime just 8 of 19 passing for 75 yards. The Ravens were able to find success on the ground, but the struggles of the passing game kept them from converting drives into points in the first 30 minutes.

Any time two of the league’s highest-scoring offense square off, it’s sure to be fun for football fans. Lucky for us, that’s exactly what’s happening in Week 3. Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens lead theNFLin scoring, while the Patrick Mahomes-led Kansas City Chiefs rank fourth. Each team enters this matchup leading its division with a 2-0 record, and both of them have the look of strong AFC contenders so far.
It seems incredibly likely that we’ll see some scoreboard-denting on Sunday afternoon, as oddsmakers have pegged this as the highest-scoring game of the week. The over-under has been in the range of 52 to 55 points all week, which indicates the expectation of a shootout at Arrowhead Stadium.
The winner of this matchup will get an early leg up on the race for a bye in the AFC playoff picture, though they’ll still have to compete with those peskyNew England Patriots, who always seem to have a say in this conference race. Anything you can do to get ahead of the game, though, will surely help down the line.
This is without question the marquee matchup of Week 3, and we’re excited to have you along for the ride with us.
