As Chiefs fans know all too well our games almost always come down to a couple plays and wins or losses depend on turnovers, goofy penalties, and ill-timed drops. When the Chiefs don’t do that they win. Every time in the Mahomes era. Every single time.
I do find it amusing on the Ravens boards how they point to the Raider game as an example of how we get pushed around. They don’t seem to realize we were starting a rookie tackle because of injuries. Since Smith came back for the playoffs? Not a single sack surrendered.

It will be fascinating to see whether this game does come down to that. Because the Ravens haven't just beaten good teams this year, they've destroyed them.
If the Chiefs can win this game, then I think you could argue it's Mahomes' greatest win. On the road in one of the most difficult stadiums to be a visitor (the Ravens have the second most wins at home since 2000 after New England), against one of the best teams ever statistically (best weighted DVOA ever recorded), with perhaps the worst supporting cast Mahomes has had since his rookie year.
This is a legacy game for whichever QB/team wins.
