Watch an average of 3 games each week during the regular season, plus every game of the NFL Postseason including the Super Bowl, LIVE on ESPN with Kayo. New to Kayo?A play earlier, Jackon had a perfect chance to potentially send the game into overtime when wide receiver Zay Flowers was open in the end zone, only for Jackson’s pass to miss the mark.
Henry’s TD was the perfect exclamation point on the end of Baltimore’s impressive opening drive of the game, and a strong start for Faelele, who has been promoted to the starting right tackle for John Harbaugh’s team after sharing the duties with veteran Morgan Moses last season. Over the last three seasons, Jones leads defensive tackles with 35 sacks, while he ranks first in the 2024 field in pass rush win rate and second for incompletions created by his pass rush .
Baltimore’s early lead would not last long, with the Chiefs striking back just over two minutes later through rookie receiver Xavier Worthy, who scored with his first touch in the NFL.His would be the last touchdown until the third quarter, with the game’s second period seeing the Chiefs kick two field goals, while the Ravens kicked one of their own.
