Game Preview
The AFC Championship game between the Baltimore Ravens (14-4) and Kansas City Chiefs (13-6) takes place on January 28 at M&T Bank Stadium.
With a standard of 156.5 yards per game during the regular season, Baltimore’s running offense was the best in the NFL. They have carried that success into the postseason. In their win over the Texans the previous week, Baltimore amassed 229 rushing yards. Leading the way was quarterback Lamar Jackson, who ran 11 times for 100 yards and two touchdowns. After gaining 143 and 136 yards versus Tennessee in 2019 and 2020, respectively, it was the 27-year-old’s third 100-yard rushing performance in 5 postseason games in his career. In the divisional-round triumph, Justice Hill gained 66 yards on 13 carries, while Gus Edwards gained 40 yards on 10 rushes. With 23 yards on 8 rushes, even 4-time 1,000-yard rusher Dalvin Cook got in on the action. With 2 touchdown throws as well, Jackson has scored eighteen points in total and only had 2 turnovers in his last 7 starts.
After averaging 21.8 points per match and 5.5 yards per play in the regular season, Kansas City has improved their offensive performance in the playoffs, averaging 26.5 points per match and 6.3 yards per play, respectively. Patrick Mahomes has completed 10 touchdown passes and no interceptions while guiding the Chiefs to 5 straight playoffs wins. This is a record that hasn’t been surpassed since 1970. The only quarterback in NFL playoff history to open 3 consecutive matches without a turnover or being sacked is the 2-time Super Bowl MVP. In the win in Buffalo, Mahomes completed two touchdown passes, one to tight end Travis Kelce. Together, the two have scored 16 postseason touchdowns, shattering the record established by Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski for the most by a quarterback-receiver combo.
