A back-and-forth game created a crucial defense and the Ravens managed to claim their first win of the season.
Baltimore led the Chiefs by one point, less than two minutes behind, and appeared to be in a poor position. Kansas City had the ball within the Ravens’ 40 and still had all three time outs. The Chiefs only had to stay in position to score a game-winning field goal, which seemed inevitable given their late game experience from the past three seasons.
IYER: candidate, candidate after week 2
But Raven’s outside linebacker Odafe Oweh snuck into the “B” gap on a rushing attempt from Clyde Edwards-Helaire, knocked the ball loose, then recovered it, leaving Baltimore 1:20 possession remaining. After a 1-yard rush from quarterback Lamar Jackson to fourth and 1: the Ravens got away with a 36-35 win at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday night.
Kansas City split their first two games of the season for the first time since 2016, while Baltimore avoided their first 0-2 start since 2016.
The Ravens were empowered by an incredible rushing performance: 251 yards and three touchdowns between five different runners. Jackson led the group with 16 carries for 107 yards and two scores. He also completed 18 of 26 passes for 239 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions.

It was Mahomes’ first interception in September of his career. Previously, he threw 37 touchdowns without a pick.
The Chiefs will return home next Sunday to battle the Chargers while the Ravens battle the Lions.
