Ravens fans lament losing again to the Chiefs, tip cap to Patrick Mahomes

In the end, the showdown proved to be a one-sided affair.

The Chiefs easily downed the Ravens 34-20 at M&T Bank Stadium before a national audience on “Monday Night Football” and improved to 3-0. Baltimore dropped to 2-1, and Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, the defending MVP, was outplayed by the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes.

Mahomes is now 3-0 against the Ravens and Jackson.

Baltimore fans weren’t happy with how lopsided the game turned out to be. But many tipped their caps to Mahomes and lamented another loss to KC.

All right. We deserved that loss. At some point, it will come down to Lamar having to win his first playoff game. At some point he needs to beat the Chiefs. For now, it's just a Monday in September. #Ravens #RavensFlock

Rebound against Washington. This is unacceptable. #RavensFlock https://t.co/BNLiP0Mmhp

They’re going to trash the Ravens for this game even if we go 15-1! They’re going to go “great game but they still can’t beat Mahomes” #RavensFlock

The @Chiefs absolutely deserve this win!

Great play calling ️

We lost after we just stopped running the ball after the first drive in the first half.

A lot of dropped passes too

Right now, this is Patrick Mahomes's league. He's absolutely unreal #RavensFlock

@Ravens Both sides of the ball need to #RiseUp and learn from the night. You will see @PatrickMahomes and @Chiefs again in playoffs. #PlayLikeARaven #RavensFlock

The #Ravens were absolutely awful tonight. The game plan looked bad, the players looked bad, and the refs were bad. Just all the way around an embarrassing effort. The #Chiefs are so much better until proven otherwise. #RavensFlock

Yeah that'll do it. I liked the way we somewhat got back into it. Shouldn't have abandoned the run so early. I feel like if it's any other team we can come back, but Mahomes is just too good. On to week 4 #RavensFlock

I mean after they completely abandoned the run game the defense catch their breath

Well good news it’s only week 3 and last year after losing to the Chiefs, my Ravens didn’t lose another regular season game soooo #glasshalffull #RavensFlock

Not taking anything away from Mahomes. He played damn near flawless but let's give credit where credit is due. That whole team just balled out. Every single player down to the left tackles touchdown. #MayWeMeetAgain #RavensFlock
