Chiefs Top Ravens 37-20; Chris Jones Starts

The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Baltimore Ravens 37-20 at Arrowhead, improving to 2-2. Steve Spagnuolo’s defense shut down the NFL’s top-scoring offense after an opening-drive touchdown and forced momentum-shifting turnovers. Linebacker Leo Chenal’s one-handed interception of Lamar Jackson helped spark a run that turned the game decisively in the Chiefs’ favor. Patrick Mahomes delivered several big plays, including a fourth-down pass to Hollywood Brown, and became the youngest player to reach 250 career passing touchdowns. Defensive tackle Chris Jones flew back from his aunt’s funeral in Mississippi, missed warmups but arrived in time to start and said football served as an emotional escape. The offense was also aided by the return of Xavier Worthy and clearer identity work under offensive coordinator Matt Nagy.
