But they did show some signs of life after their meltdown game against the Raiders on Christmas Day. Andy Reid supposedly trimmed down the playbook, benched a couple of WR's who have been a major problem. Patrick seems way more focused than he did a month ago. Kelce seems way more focused than he has looked all season as well. They've already made it further in the Playoffs than I expected after the Christmas game.
So what the heck, let's roll the dice and see how it goes. It would be cool if this game turns into a pretty good shootout in the 4th quarter.

I think the Ravens could bring their "B" game and beat most teams in the NFL, but not the Chiefs. Mahomes is as much of a gamer as there is; I can't even conceive of him sitting a game due to injury. Kelce acts like a stereotypical TE jock, but his understanding of how to get open even when the entire gameplan revolves around containing him is genius. And the coaching staff has seen everything there is to see.
I get the feeling this is going to be a "kitchen sink" game. The Ravens are going to debut some looks on both offense and defense (and knowing Harbaugh, special teams) that they've been saving all year for a moment like this. Ditto for the Chiefs. Should be fun.
