What we’re hearing on the Chiefs: Following their first victory, the Chiefs are looking to have a complete performance on offense against the Ravens, hoping to build off the strong second half they had against the Giants. The expected return of speedy WR Xavier Worthy should help, too. “It’s going to make us even better because guys had to step up and they have,” Mahomes said. “You’ve seen Hollywood [Brown], you’ve seen JuJu [Smith-Schuster] and you’ve seen Tyquan [Thornton] all step up into their roles. We’ll continue to get better and better as the season goes, but it’ll be an important week this week.” — Nate Taylor
Stat to know: The Ravens have scored 111 points this season, which is the most by a team with a losing record through three games in NFL history. The most points by a team with a losing record through four games is 140 by the 2022 Lions, who finished the season 8-9 and missed playoffs. — ESPN Research
Chiefs upset Ravens as home underdog
Patrick Mahomes is off to the worst three-game start of his future Hall of Fame career. Mahomes has played the worst football of his career through three games of a season since he became the Chiefs’ starter in 2018. He’s thrown for the worst completion (59%), yards per pass attempt (6.4) and fewest passing touchdowns (3) through three games in his career. His inaccuracy has him leading the NFL with 22 off-target incompletions this season, which are also his most in a three-game span in career, per Pro Football Focus. That’s why the Chiefs are averaging their fewest points per game (20.0), total yards per game (315.7) and yards/play (5.2) through three games since 2018, Mahomes’ first season as a full-time starter.
Chiefs’ Travis Kelce talks on heated exchange with Andy Reid | Kansas City Star
And Sunday in New Jersey, head coach Andy Reid lowered his shoulder to bump Kelce before the two exchanged words as the Chiefs settled for a first-half field goal.
“I love that guy, man,” Kelce told me Friday, taking media questions for the first time since that incident. “There’s nothing outside of this building that’s going to make me feel any different way. We know exactly each other’s intentions. “I think what Coach Reid does best is he challenges guys to be at their best, and I love that about him. It definitely helped me take my game to another level that game.”
