Final
Recap
If defense was optional in Kansas City, nobody bothered checking the box. The Chiefs and Ravens combined for **962 yards of offense and 98 points**, but Kansas City's mistake-free attack ultimately turned a shootout into a 63–35 win. Lamar Jackson put up video-game numbers in defeat, throwing for 409 yards and five touchdowns while adding another 62 yards on the ground. Mark Andrews was nearly unstoppable, hauling in 173 yards worth of passes and three touchdowns. Somehow, it wasn't enough. Kansas City countered with Patrick Mahomes throwing for 281 yards and four touchdowns, while Kenneth Walker absolutely punished Baltimore on the ground. Walker erupted for **196 rushing yards and three touchdowns**, helping KC rack up 194 rushing yards compared to Baltimore's 78. The wildest part? Baltimore actually outgained Kansas City 487–475. The difference was everything that happened around those yards. Kansas City didn't turn the ball over once, while Baltimore gave it away three times. Mansoor Delane intercepted Jackson twice, and the Chiefs' defense added three sacks. Baltimore could move the ball. Kansas City just kept taking it away — and then scoring. **Player of the Game:** Kenneth Walker — 196 rushing yards, 3 TD.
