At halftime of an integral showdown between two recent AFC powerhouses that are off to slow starts to the 2025 season, the Kansas City Chiefs lead the visiting Baltimore Ravens 20-10. 

The Ravens actually got off to a fast start in this one, marching right down the field for a 70-yard touchdown drive on their first possession of the afternoon. Kansas City answered by driving deep into Ravens territory, but the Chiefs stalled out inside the red zone and had to settle for a field goal to cut the early lead to 7-3.

After opening the game with a touchdown toss to Justice Hill and improving on his league-best passing numbers, Lamar Jackson made his first big mistake of the year when he threw a ball up for grabs while under pressure on the Ravens’ next possession. Leo Chenal came away with an interception on the play, and it led to another Chiefs field goal to cut into Baltimore’s lead again. 

The Ravens then went backward on their next trip, with Jackson taking a pair of delay-of-game penalties and an intentional grounding call. The Chiefs finally took advantage of a red zone opportunity on their ensuing possession, with Patrick Mahomes finding JuJu Smith-Schuster in the front of the end zone to give Kansas City its first lead of the afternoon. 

Baltimore got to fourth-and-1 on its next trip, and without Derrick Henry on the field, the Chiefs sent an all-out blitz and forced Lamar to throw the ball away. Set up with great field position for their next drive, the Chiefs again capitalized, this time with a touchdown pass from Mahomes to Isiah Pacheco — the 250th touchdown toss of Mahomes’ career. He became the youngest player ever to reach that milestone in the process.

Set up with a two-minute drill and an opportunity to cut into Kansas City’s lead, the Ravens instead turned the ball over again as Jackson ran into his own teammate while trying to scramble up the middle on third-and-1 and fumbled it away. That left the Chiefs with strong field position once again, but Kansas City was only able to move the ball a few yards and set up yet another field goal attempt for Harrison Butker, who hooked the ball wide to the left. 

With just 26 seconds remaining in the half following Butker’s miss, Jackson was able to engineer the Ravens into range for a Tyler Loop field goal, which cut Kansas City’s halftime lead to 10 points.

Will the Chiefs hold onto their lead, or will the Ravens stage a comeback? We’ll find out soon enough. In the meantime, keep it locked to our live blog throughout the rest of the afternoon as we update you with stats, scores and highlights.
