KANSAS CITY, Mo. — For nearly four years, Lamar Jackson has been trying to live down the single time that he referred to the Kansas City Chiefs as the Baltimore Ravens’ kryptonite. And during that same time span, the franchise has been trying to reduce the number of instances when Jackson has to carry the burden of Superman to keep the Ravens toe-to-toe against their AFC rival.
Yet here we are again after Thursday night’s NFL’s season opener, with the Kansas City once again fitting the bill as Baltimore’s kryptonite, and Jackson once again having to don a cape and play the role of a superhero to keep the Ravens toe-to-toe with the Chiefs.
