The Ravens narrowly miss a win in the NFL season opener against the Chiefs, adding to Lamar Jackson’s 1-5 record against Patrick Mahomes.
NFL, Bollywood Fever: The Baltimore Ravens came close to pulling off an upset against the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL season opener on Thursday night but ultimately fell short, leaving Lamar Jackson with yet another loss to Patrick Mahomes. Despite Jackson’s impressive performance, the Ravens couldn’t overcome the Chiefs, adding to Jackson’s now 1-5 record against Mahomes.
Jackson had a strong game, finishing with 273 yards and one touchdown on 21-of-41 pass completions while rushing for 122 yards—the third-most rushing yards for a quarterback in NFL history. However, the Ravens couldn’t capitalize in the crucial moments.
Late in the game, a potential Isaiah Likely touchdown catch that could have tied the game was ruled out of bounds, nullifying the Ravens’ last chance at a win.
This loss marks the fifth time Jackson has been outdueled by Mahomes. The last time the two met, the Chiefs won the AFC Championship with a 17-10 victory. Jackson’s only win against Mahomes came in 2021, when the Ravens edged out the Chiefs in a thrilling 36-35 game.
NFL fans were quick to point out Jackson’s struggles against Mahomes. “Lamar Jackson-led Ravens are now 1-5 vs. the Chiefs. History is the best indicator of what lies ahead,” one commenter noted, while another said, “Lamar is fun to watch, but I don’t think he’ll ever win outside of the regular season.”
Jackson’s playoff record of 2-5 was also brought into question, with critics highlighting his inability to win big games. Unfortunately, Jackson will have to wait for a potential rematch with Mahomes, as the two teams don’t meet again in the regular season. The next opportunity for Jackson to get his revenge will likely come in the playoffs.
