SportsBeat KC: How did the Chiefs beat the Ravens? Soundly. Let’s discuss highlights
The Kansas City Chiefs entered Monday’s game at the Baltimore Ravens as underdogs. After all, the Ravens had won 14 consecutive regular-season games and are led by reigning MVP Lamar Jackson.
But the Chiefs were the better-prepared team. Patrick Mahomes had one of his best days in a Chiefs uniform, the defense bottled up Jackson and the KC prevailed 34-20.
The Star’s A-team of Vahe Gregorian, Sam Mellinger, Herbie Teope and Sam McDowell, plus colleague Pete Grathoff and SportsBeat Live host Blair Kerkhoff, bring you this breakdown of all the action. Who besides Mahomes stood out? Why do the Ravens have so much trouble with the Chiefs, and did the outcome stamp Kansas City as the Super Bowl favorite?
Plus, the group answers your questions and responds to your comments from the audience.
