In a closely contested season opener, the Baltimore Ravens fell 27-20 to the Kansas City Chiefs, with Lamar Jackson's performance marred by critical missed opportunities. With just 10 seconds left, Jackson missed a wide-open Zay Flowers in the end zone, a play that former NFL receiver Antonio Brown attributed to Flowers’ miscommunication, while Jackson insisted the pass was intended for Rashod Bateman. Jackson noted the pressure from Chiefs' defense impacted his throw, which ultimately led to an incomplete pass that could have tied the game. Earlier, a touchdown pass to tight end Isaiah Likely was nullified after review due to his foot being out of bounds. Despite accounting for 395 total yards and showcasing his dual-threat capability, Jackson's missteps overshadowed an otherwise solid performance. The Ravens will look to rebound in their upcoming home game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
