Heading into a much-anticipated matchup against the Chiefs in Week 3, the Ravens ultimately failed to avenge last year’s crushing loss in the same stadium. Porous defense, middling offense, and missed opportunities were too much to overcome.
Takeaways from the heartbreaking defeat:

After a prolonged opening scoring drive by the Ravens, the Chiefs responded with a touchdown of their own to take the lead - aided by two penalties on Baltimore. First, Pernell McPhee was flagged for a roughing the passer penalty after wrapping Mahomes up by the legs.
