Stakes are incredibly high for both teams. Obviously for the Ravens Lamar hasn't won one yet, but the Ravens have won a couple in the past 20 years-ish, and Lamar did just take his team to the AFCCG which can't be considered a failure.
For the Chiefs it's the last opportunity to get back-to-back Superbowls with the majority of this crew. And as Nick Wright pointed out, they are 2 wins away from having the greatest 5-year run in NFL history. Not to mention an instant slam-dunk top 3 NFL dynasty of all time. Will KC be embarrassed if that doesn't happen? No, of course not. But the opportunity is so rare. It's probably not going to come again.
