"For Andy Reid's Chiefs, the problem that dogged them throughout last season, even as they reached a third successive Super Bowl, has persisted, with quarterback Patrick Mahomes shackled by an anaemic offense. Kansas City did at least claim a first win of the season last week as they saw off the New York Giants 22-9 on the road, but that success did little to win over the doubters that are growing in number amid the Chiefs' continued struggles."
"Though they have tasted victory just once, the Ravens have scored 111 points through three games, with Baltimore's chief problem that has led to a 1-2 start being a porous defense. Indeed, the Ravens have surrendered an average of 5.8 yards per play this season, the seventh-most in the NFL. Against the run, the Ravens have surrendered 447 yards, the third-most in the league, and conceded a league-high seven rushing touchdowns."
"Kansas City's defense has in recent seasons been the saving grace for the Chiefs as the offense has floundered. However, Steve Spagnuolo's unit ranks 21st in the NFL in Expected Points Added per play, a measure of unit-wide efficiency that is, in essence, reflective of a defense's ability to prevent the explosive play. That ranking suggests the Chiefs will struggle to contain the Ravens' diverse attack led by two-time MVP Lamar Jackson."
The Kansas City Chiefs face ongoing offensive struggles that have limited Patrick Mahomes despite a recent 22-9 win over the New York Giants. Kansas City's rushing attack lacks explosiveness, with the only run over 20 yards coming from Mahomes. The Chiefs' defense has been a recent strength but currently ranks 21st in Expected Points Added per play, signaling vulnerability to explosive plays. The Baltimore Ravens have produced 111 points in three games but sit 1-2 due to a porous defense allowing 5.8 yards per play, 447 rushing yards and a league-high seven rushing touchdowns. The matchup pits a stagnant Chiefs offense against a high-scoring Ravens attack.
