One celebrates, the other suffers
While Patrick Mahomes celebrated, Lamar Jackson endured another rough night in Kansas City. The Ravens quarterback left the game in the third quarter with a hamstring injury. His backup, Cooper Rush, couldn’t keep the offense afloat, and Baltimore fell 37–20. With this loss, Jackson’s record at Arrowhead as a visitor dropped to 0–4—a stat that’s starting to weigh on him beyond the numbers.
“Let’s see if we can get to 500 or something.”

According to TheSportsRush, the Ravens entered the season as Super Bowl favorites, but their start has been disappointing. They sit at 1–3, and questions about their leader’s health are mounting. Meanwhile, the Chiefs—underdogs at home for only the second time since Patrick Mahomes took over—proved they’re still a force in the AFC.
Next week heats up
Both teams face manageable opponents in the upcoming week: Baltimore takes on the Texans, while Kansas City Chiefs meets the Jaguars. But the spotlight remains on them. Patrick Mahomes, for his drive and consistency. Lamar Jackson, for his talent and the ghosts he still hasn’t shaken at Arrowhead.
And while one keeps rewriting history, the other searches for healing. The NFL keeps moving, but Sunday belonged to Patrick Mahomes—and to records that no longer seem to contain him. We’ll have to wait and see if the quarterback keeps up this pace as the season unfolds.
