Chiefs have to put the game away with 3 minutes to go and only one timeout for the Ravens. Really inexcusable to risk letting the Ravens come down and get 8 points to win (That's how the Chargers beat Mahomes for the game they printed up t-shirts about, going for 2 instead of heading to overtime.)
Harbaugh was going to go for two. Smart guy. But he really has himself to blame, the Ravens could have really used those two timeouts.
Rice was eating all day on slants over the middle.
3 touches for Worthy. 2 touchdowns. Both touchdowns were 20+ yards. Chiefs only had 4 from that distance all of last year.
If I was a Ravens fan, I would be SICK about Lamar missing a wide open Flowers in the end zone after missing an open Likely on the play before.
If Likely gets his toe in and the Ravens make the 2-pt, it's a hell of a win for the Ravens and a crushing loss for the Chiefs. But that didn't happen. Instead here's our reality:
Chiefs are 1-0 and got there without Hollywood Brown, their new WR1. Now own the tiebreaker over Ravens for potential bye, home field.
Chiefs schedule opens vs Ravens and Bengals but closes against Steelers and Broncos. Love getting wins in the tough part of the schedule.
Ravens do not have an answer for KC.
Last year, Chiefs lost on opening day without Chris Jones and had to settle for going 11-6 and getting the 3rd seed. Already feeling like 12 wins seems realistic.
Hell of a game.
I realized hours after the game that this was really 1.5 wins thanks to the tiebreak possibility. It wouldn't surprise me if both teams end up 13-4
