10 Quick Facts Following the Chiefs Week 4 Win Over Baltimore | Upon Further Review | The Mothership
2. The Chiefs’ defense held the league’s No. 1 scoring offense to just 20 total points.
Baltimore entered Sunday’s game with the league’s top scoring offense at 37.0 points-per-game, scoring at least 30 points in each of their three games (and dropping 40 points in two of them). That all changed on Sunday, however, as the Chiefs held Baltimore to just 20 total points (and only 13 total points prior to the fourth quarter, when the game was well in-hand).
In fact, Baltimore has been held to 13 or fewer points entering the fourth quarter on just nine occasions since the beginning of the 2023 campaign (including the playoffs), marking a span of 42 games. The Chiefs are responsible for three of those instances, doing so in each of their last three matchups with Baltimore.
Kansas City owns the league’s No. 2 scoring defense over the last three weeks, holding the opposition to only 16.3 points-per-game. The Chiefs still own the top scoring defense in the NFL since the beginning of the 2023 campaign by a wide margin, too.

Kansas City Chiefs: The gloom of an 0-2 start has dissipated at least somewhat, with the longstanding class of the AFC just one game back of the division lead. More important than where Kansas City stands now, however, is how it got here. Xavier Worthy’s return from a shoulder injury sustained in the opener single-handedly transformed a passing attack that couldn’t count on finding anything easy without him. With defenses having to account for Worthy’s speed downfield, a ripple effect is created in which other pass catchers can finally thrive over the middle and Mahomes can more comfortably beat the blitz. That doesn’t fully excuse the Chiefs from failing to clear their own bar in the first three weeks, but the lackluster production is easier to stomach knowing where things could be headed as Rashee Rice’s six-game suspension also approaches its expiration.

Kansas City Chiefs (2-2) – AFC West Winner / No. 2 Seed
It wasn’t long ago that the Chiefs were 0-2 and were trending towards becoming the latest Super Bowl loser to suffer a hangover season, but it’s now looking unlikely that the first playoff miss of the Patrick Mahomes era will happen in 2025.
Kansas City just picked up a statement 37-20 victory over the Ravens on Sunday, bringing the club back to .500 in the process. The Chiefs are now well-positioned to take control of the AFC West with a soft schedule that includes winnable meetings against the Jaguars, Raiders and Commanders over the next month.
