You need 3 yards. You're in field goal range. If you're going to throw the ball to pick up the first down, you want to do it on 3rd down and at least get the chance to burn more clock on 2nd. You've cut through their defense like a hot knife through butter and have plenty of time left - plus time outs.

Credit to Odefe Oweh. He made a great individual play to swim by Thuney AND to punch that ball out. Quickness, explosion, and great timing. Sometimes that happens.

It sucks they lost. It's kind of hilarious how explosively the Ravens have celebrated. Credit to Wink Martindale for finally changing things up against Mahomes and the Chiefs. It wasn't really all that effective, but it made a small difference and they didn't give up a bunch of back-breaking big plays.

I don't think they have an adjustment off of that to pull out for a rematch.

As for the Chargers, I expect they'll give the Chiefs trouble and it will be a closer game, but I still see a bounceback win. The Chiefs short game will be critical against Staley's defense.

KC has some things to round into form. Thankfully, it's a young team and it is reasonable to expect all these young guys with upside to play better as time goes on (the OL, Bolton, Gay should be a big help if he comes back healthy).

Probably going to need more from the offense than we were hoping, but let's see what adjustments Spagnuolo has in store. His defenses usually improve as the season goes on.

Ravens Defense gave up 28 points ,They suck too!
