The fumble by the Chiefs' Clyde Edwards-Helaire enabled Lamar
Jackson to ice the upset with a fourth-down keeper, moving the
chains and letting Baltimore run out the clock.
Jackson overcame two first-quarter interceptions, including one
for a pick-six, to pass for 239 yards, rush for 107 and account
for three touchdowns, rallying Baltimore from an 11-point
deficit.
Although the Ravens played short-handed with 16 players already
on injured reserve, Jackson willed his first victory in four
matchups against Patrick Mahomes and the two-time defending AFC
champion Chiefs.
Jackson scored on a 1-yard rush with 3:14 left, taking Baltimore
on an 8-minute drive that took 14 plays, including five keepers
by its quarterback. The Chiefs reached the 32 and seemed to be
in good shape after the Ravens wasted two, time outs earlier in
the half.
However, Kansas City turned it over on Edward-Helaire's miscue.
Ty'Son Williams added 77 yards on 13 carries, while Marquise
Brown led the Ravens' receivers with six grabs for 113 yards.
Mahomes completed passes to nine receivers, passing for 343
yards and three touchdowns, but threw the first September
interception of his career. Kelce caught seven balls for 109
yards. His 46-yard touchdown with 6:50 left in the third quarter
provided a 35-24 lead but the Chiefs did not score again.
Tyrann Mathieu raced 34 yards with a pick-six on Baltimore's
third offensive snap and later in the first quarter intercepted
Jackson in the end zone. Mahomes completed his first six
attempts, the first five on a TD drive he capped with a 33-yard
strike to Demarcus Robinson.
Mahomes went 4-for-4 on Kansas City's other first-half scoring
drive, setting up a 2-yard TD burst by Darrel Williams with 51
seconds left and would settle for a 21-17 halftime margin.
The Ravens overcame the early pick-six with a touchdown Devin
Duvernay scored after snagging an airborne fumble by Ty'Son
Williams. They forged a 14-14 tie on a 5-yard carry by Latavius
Murray before driving 50 yards in 48 seconds for a 43-yard field
goal by Justin Tucker with 3 seconds left.
