Two of the NFL’s most-feared quarterbacks lead their 1-2 teams to a long-awaited Week 4 matchup on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, as the Kansas City Chiefs host the Baltimore Ravens. In the seven seasons Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes and Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson have been battling, each has been named the league’s MVP in two different seasons — but Jackson is 1-5 in his starts against the Chiefs. A single score has decided all but one of these matchups — and few expect this game to be much different.
First quarter
The Chiefs won the kickoff and deferred. Running back Justice Hill took Harrison Butker’s kick in front of the end zone and returned the ball to the Baltimore 30-yard line to start Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense. The first two passes went to tight end Mark Andrews to move the chains. Derrick Henry’s first carry rumbled for 14 yards to the Chiefs’ 44-yard line. Jackson then found wideout Zay Flowers for a 21-yard gain. The Chiefs were able to get the Ravens to third-down two plays later, but Hill took a handoff for a first down at the Kansas City 12. Two plays later, Jackson found Hill for an 11-yard touchdown pass. Tyler Loop’s extra point opened the scoring at Ravens 7, Chiefs 0.
