The Ravens were one of the first teams to embrace analytics and go for it relentlessly on fourth down, but this year they're actually one of the lowest rates in the league at that. The reason is probably because they're strong enough across the board that it's not worth them taking gambles and allowing the other team the chance to close the gap should the conversion fail. I think it's very possible that changes this game given that the Ravens don't have a clear advantage over the Chiefs like they did most teams they played during the regular season.
