Game Preview
The Kansas City Chiefs launch their campaign to secure an unprecedented third straight NFL championship by hosting the Baltimore Ravens this Thursday. The game is a replay of the previous season’s AFC Championship Game, which Kansas City clinched 17-10 at home.
The matchup also marks the sixth face-off between Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, the current NFL MVP. Mahomes leads their personal tally with four wins to Jackson’s one. Jackson, downplaying the rivalry and the idea of vengeance for January’s loss, stated, "I view every game as a revenge game, regardless of past outcomes. My focus is always on winning."
Last time, the Ravens, who led the NFL in rushing last season, surprisingly limited their ground game to just 16 attempts in the championship game. This season, they’ve added powerhouse Derrick Henry, expecting he’ll make a significant impact, particularly given his robust track record against Kansas City during his time with the Tennessee Titans.
Ravens’ GM Eric DeCosta, who had unsuccessfully attempted to trade for Henry last season, secured him with a two-year deal worth $16 million this March. Henry expressed enthusiasm about finally playing for Baltimore, especially with the upcoming game against Kansas City, noting, "I always felt I could have made a difference in last season’s playoffs. Now, I have my chance, and we must be sharp to compete with the Chiefs this Thursday."
Kansas City is openly aiming for a historic third Super Bowl victory in a row. With the Super Bowl LVIII banner set to be revealed before the game, Mahomes anticipates a tough game, emphasizing the perennial vigor and strategy of the Ravens. "Baltimore is known for its aggressive play and speed," Mahomes remarked. "We need to rise to the occasion, as they will surely bring their A-game. It’s going to be a significant challenge, but we’re ready."
This game not only sets the stage for Kansas City’s historic quest but also serves as a crucial early-season showdown between two of the AFC’s heavyweights, signaling to the NFL that the Chiefs remain formidable contenders.
