Kansas City Chiefs Analysis

Kansas City’s offense got it going against the Bills. Although Mahomes only threw for 215 yards, the Magic One passed for a couple of touchdowns. Mahomes also completed 17-of-23.

Running back Isaiah Pacheco had a stellar game. Pacheco carried the ball for 15 times and rushed for 97 yards, a 6.5 per carry average. Clyde Edwards-Helaire rushed a couple of times for over 31 yards and over 15 yards per carry.

Pacheco’s and Edward-Helaire’s per carry averages tell us that the Chiefs’ rushing attack was on fire. Travis Kelce was also on fire. Kelce caught 5 passes for 75 yards and scored a couple of touchdowns.

On defense, even though the Chiefs gave up 24 points, the Bills Josh Allen threw for just 186 and a single TD. Allen averaged 4.8 passing yards per completion.

The Bills rushed the ball well, though. Buffalo rumbled for an impressive 187 yards and a 4.2 per carry average. But the Chiefs gave up most of the rushing yards in the first half. In the second half, KC played much tougher run defense.

Baltimore Ravens Analysis

What’s crazier than the defense the Ravens played against the rush is that Baltimore didn’t allow Stroud to throw for a single yard in the second half. Stroud accumulated all 175 yards in the first half.

Baltimore’s offense got it going in the second half. The Ravens leaned on the run. At the end of the day, the Edgar Allan Poes had rushed for 229 yards and a 5.5 per carry average. Lamar rushed for 100 yards, a 9.1 per carry average, and scored 2 rushing touchdowns.

Justice Hill rushed for 66 yards and Gus Edwards rushed for 40.

Baltimore Ravens vs Kansas City Chiefs

First, Mahomes to Kelce got going against the Bills because Buffalo had major injuries in their linebacking unit.

A.J. Klein had to cover Big Travis. It didn’t work out well for the Bills. On Sunday, Roquan Smith or Patrick Queen are likely to cover Kelce. So the Ravens will manage the Patrick to Travis connection.

The other factor that will lead to a Baltimore victory and cover is that a Chiefs’ issue is a Ravens’ strength. KC is vulnerable against the rush. The Chiefs have one of the best secondaries in football, but the rush defense isn’t great.

That will be a problem versus a Ravens team with the greatest rushing quarterback in NFL history. If the Chiefs decide to put an eighth man in the box, Jackson will toss the pigskin to Odell Beckham Jr., Zay Flower, Rashod Bateman, or tight end Isaiah Likely.

Anyway we cut it, the Baltimore Ravens have the advantages. Back Lamar and his mates to cover.
