KANSAS CITY (News First) – Patrick Mahomes threw for 291 yards and a touchdown and the Kansas City defense kept Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens out of the end zone on three consecutive plays in the closing seconds of Thursday night’s NFL season opener. That allowed the Chiefs to begin their pursuit of a third straight Super Bowl title with a 27-20 victory over the Ravens.
The game ended with a video review after Jackson appeared to hit Isaiah Likely in the back of the end zone with no time left for a touchdown. The video clearly showed Likely’s toe on the line, though, and the call was overturned and the pass ruled incomplete. The Chiefs stay at Arrowhead for their next matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoon, September 15th. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:25.
