Chiefs Rout Ravens; Madubuike Out For Season

Kansas City beat Baltimore 37-20 at Arrowhead as Patrick Mahomes threw four touchdown passes and Xavier Worthy returned to spark the offense. The loss dropped the Ravens to 1-3, their worst start in a decade. Baltimore suffered cascading injuries: All‑Pro defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike was diagnosed with a season-ending neck injury, and multiple starters (including Ronnie Stanley, Marlon Humphrey, Roquan Smith and Nate Wiggins) left the game. Reports indicate Roquan Smith will miss multiple weeks and that QB Lamar Jackson’s hamstring will likely sideline him roughly 2–3 weeks, leaving Week 5 availability uncertain. The wave of injuries has principally hit the defense — seven of the 10 injured players are defenders — and Baltimore has allowed 133 points through four games, a franchise/Harbaugh-era worst. Kansas City’s performance underscored the gap between AFC contenders and an injury-ravaged Ravens club.
