Let's give the Ravens credit. I think Mahomes and Reid realized early in the second half that it would be difficult to move the ball. It's not like they went fetal without trying.
Baltimore made adjustments after the first several possessions. They ramped up their physical (dirty) play. They weren't missing tackles. Putting more pressure on Mahomes with the pass rush. We still have the same personnel as the regular season. Same shortcomings at the #2 WR position. It's Kelce, Rice, and Pacheco. Pacheco averaged 2.8 YPC in the game.
The Chiefs played smart in the second half offensively. Did what they needed to protect the lead. Baltimore's defense had a lot to do with it though. We should be proud the offense didn't turn it over against the league's top defense at forcing turnovers. That wasn't easy.
