 Mahums beats Jackson to lead Chiefs after the Ravens 34-20

This year, the Brain's Trust in Electronic Arts awarded Baltimore Ravens midfielder Lamar Jackson a well-known and well-publicized honor by placing his picture on the cover of the video game Madden NFL 21. Jackson got it: voted NFL most valuable player last season, And soon he emerged as one of the hottest players in the league.

But Jackson's rapid rise was halted modestly Monday night when Patrick Mahoms, his Kansas City Chiefs counterpart, showed why he remains the face of the league and the hottest player in the game.

In a display of athleticism, creativity and balance, Mahomes and Chiefs dismantled Ravens Jackson - the highest-rated league defense - in a 34-20 win that was more unbalanced than the indicated final score.

The Chiefs hit quickly and often in the first half, with Mahomes throwing screen passes to back-running rookie Clyde Edwards Hellyer, long touchdowns to fast receivers Tyreek Hill and Mecole Hardman, and numerous passes midfield for Travis Kelsey court finishes . For good measure, he also ran for the landing.

When the Ravens' team took advantage of two bosses' turn in the second half to pull into the ground, Mahomes restarted the Chiefs' attack to keep the game out of reach. In the process, he assigned N.F.L. He scored by crossing 10,000 yards to pass his career in the fewest games, breaking Kurt Warner's record.

The sky is the limit for this kid, said Sammy Watkins, chief receptionist. he is a rare breed of talent.

Even after winning the M.V.P. In 2018, and with the same honor as the president at Super Bowl in February, Mahomes continues to amaze him. He threw one of his distinct passes that did not look. He did a ground touch pass to his back. It first ran to extend drives. He raised the 40-yard pass with jubilant Baltimore midfielders pressing him. To close the game, he threw a 2-yard score to one of his attacking hunters, Eric Fisher.

In all, Mahomes completed 31 of 42 passes for 385 yards and four touchdowns. By rushing to score his first team score, he made sure he had a direct hand in all five Kansas City matches.

In the process, Mahomes transformed what was supposed to be a showdown between two of the league's best teams led by two of the league's best midfielders into another reminder of how far he was ahead of his teammates.

“You have to raise your hat to Patrick Mahomes,” said Ravens Calais Campbell's defense. "At the moment, they are playing like the best team in the league."

Mahomes has now defeated Jackson in all three of his head-to-head matches since 2018. In his young career as a midfielder, Jackson is now 0-3 against Chiefs and 21-1 against every other league team during the regular season. It was Ravens' first regular season loss in a year.
