Kansas City
The Baltimore Ravens will face the Kansas City Chiefs in a critical Week 4 showdown on Sunday, September 28, at 4:25 p.m. ET. Both teams enter the game with a record of 1-2 and are looking to recover from disappointing starts to the season.
The game will be hosted at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium and broadcast on CBS, featuring Jim Nantz as the play-by-play announcer, Tony Romo as the analyst, and Tracy Wolfson reporting from the sidelines.
Recent Performance of the Teams
In their last outing, the Ravens lost to the Detroit Lions 38-30, despite being 4.5-point favorites at home. Quarterback Lamar Jackson showcased strong performance, completing 21 of 27 passes for 288 yards and 3 touchdowns, while also rushing for 35 yards. Derrick Henry, the Ravens’ running back, managed 50 rushing yards and 1 touchdown but has been plagued by fumbling issues during the past three games. Tight end Mark Andrews led the receiving corps with 6 catches for 91 yards and 2 touchdowns.
The Chiefs, on the other hand, secured a win against the New York Giants, with a score of 22-9. Though they covered a 6-point spread, the game was characterized as sluggish. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw for 224 yards and 1 touchdown, without any interceptions.
Pressure to Perform
Both teams are feeling the heat to secure a win, as they trail their respective division leaders. The Ravens are currently behind the AFC North leaders, while the Chiefs find themselves trailing the undefeated Los Angeles Chargers. The Ravens have not experienced a three-game losing streak in September since 2015 and are keen on regaining their momentum. Conversely, the Chiefs are trying to avoid starting their season at 1-3, which hasn’t happened since 2015.
Defensive Struggles
The Ravens’ defense has been underperforming, currently ranked last in the NFL. They will need to make significant improvements to contain the Chiefs’ powerful offense. The last face-off between these two sides was in Week 1 of the previous season where the Chiefs narrowly triumphed, winning 27-20 after a last-play review denied the Ravens a potential game-tying score. The Ravens aim to break their three-game losing streak in Kansas City, with their last victory in the city dating back to 2018.
One key player for the Ravens is linebacker Roquan Smith, who will be essential in leading the defense after their disappointing display against Detroit. The Ravens’ safety Kyle Hamilton will also play a vital role in matching up with star tight end Travis Kelce.
Injury Updates
In terms of personnel, the Chiefs have added defensive tackle Chris Jones to the injury report for personal reasons, but he has no game designation. Defensive end Mike Danna is doubtful to play, and cornerback Kristian Fulton and defensive end Ashton Gillotte are questionable, which may affect their defensive strategy during the game.
As both teams prepare for what promises to be a pivotal matchup this Sunday, the outcome could set the tone for the remainder of their seasons. With both the Ravens and Chiefs yearning for victories to shake off early-season struggles, fans can expect an action-packed encounter at Arrowhead Stadium.
