Ravens vs Chiefs Preview
Patrick Mahomes might be the reigning MVP and favorite to take home a second, but early on, there’s been a lot of talk about Lamar Jackson as a darkhorse candidate.
“He’s does a lot of things well,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said of Jackson. “Everyone kind of goes to his run game but he can throw the football. He’s doing it with accuracy and he can do it all different levels, whether that’s rolling out or in the pocket.
“He has talent around him for sure,” Reid added, “but the way it’s slowed down for him, his reads are great and all those little things end up being big things.”
Jackson has 596 passing yards and seven touchdowns through the first two week, albeit those numbers were put up against the lowly Dolphins and Cardinals. Ravens coach John Harbaugh is happy that Jackson is on his squad, knowing that he’d be a headache to prepare for.
“It’s just going to be a real conundrum for them. It’s going to be a real challenge for them to figure that out,” Harbaugh said. They’re going to have to figure it out for themselves. But this league has a lot of smart people and a lot of great players. As Lamar [Jackson] well knows, they’ll be chasing our scheme. We’ll play one of the best teams in the league [on Sunday] in Kansas City. The stadium will be rocking; it’ll be deafening. We’re going to have to be a much better football team than we have been last week or this week. That’s just the way the league works. This is a smart league, and you have to respect what people can do.”
Running back Mark Ingram has brought some stability to the running game for the Ravens, putting less pressure on Jackson to produce with his legs. Ingram had averaged 13.5 carries and has 154 yards to go with two touchdowns. Ingram heard the criticism of his Jackson and came to his defense this week.
“Lamar [Jackson] is a real quarterback,” Ingram said. “People can say what they want, but he can sit back there and drop dimes. He’s going to continue to improve and continue to get better. We have lots of playmakers on the outside – receivers, tight ends. You see fullbacks catching it. You see backs catching it out of the backfield. That’s what we want: a versatile offense and an explosive offense, many moving parts contributing.”
The Ravens are looking to begin a season 3-0 for the third time under Harbaugh. Doing so would mark just the fourth time it was accomplished. The Chiefs started 5-0 last season to kick off a tremendous year that eventually ended in the AFC Championship game with an overtime loss to the Patriots.
Odds Shark has the Chiefs listed as 5.5-point favorite for the game and the total is set at 52 — the highest of the week.
