The fumble bug found a new host on Sunday. After tormenting Derrick Henry for the first three weeks, it latched onto the Baltimore Ravens quarterback, Lamar Jackson.

Baltimore traveled to Arrowhead Stadium in search of a win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The Detroit Lions handed the Ravens a brutal defeat, further diminishing the AFC North club’s chances of playing in the Super Bowl.

KC, meanwhile, secured its first win of the season in week three and took a 20-7 lead over the Ravens with under 1:30 minutes left until halftime.

Jackson dropped back after snapping the ball on third and one. The Chiefs sent a blitz along with a spy, Leo Channel, whose presence halted Jackson’s run before the Pro Bowler collided with center Tyler Linderbaum. The ball came loose.

Chiefs DT Chris Jones, who flew back from Mississippi after attending his aunt’s funeral, pounced on Jackson’s back to collect a sack. Jones’ teammate, linebacker Drew Tranquill, recovered the ball to gain possession back for the Chiefs.

The joy nearly evaporated as everyone noticed the penalty marker on the turf. Luckily for the home team, the officials penalized the Ravens for offensive holding, which was declined, and they retained possession.

Elsewhere, the CBS cameras tailed Jackson into the Ravens’ dugout. A clip showed the frustrated shot caller smashing his helmet before retiring to one of the empty seats.

Derrick Henry struggled with fumbles in the previous three outings. Henry’s fumbles cost the Ravens the week one fixture against the Buffalo Bills and the week three fixture against the Detroit Lions.

Lamar Jackson’s outing against the Chiefs went from bad to worse

Jackson’s torment continued even after the break and escalated seconds before the end of the third quarter. The Chiefs had increased their points tally to 30 by that point.

Kicker Tyler Loop cut the lead to fourteen before getting dealt a big blow. A George Karlaftis sack left Jackson holding the back of his leg.

Jackson went to the medical tent and did not return to the game. Later, he was seen in the Ravens’ dugout icing his right leg. Before going off injured, Jackson had thrown 14 completions from 20 attempts for 147 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception, along with 6 carries for 48 yards.

Cooper Rush replaced Jackson for the rest of the game. Rush threw for 52 yards on 9 completions and zero touchdowns as the game ended with a 20-37 scoreline.

Henry accumulated 8 carries for 42 yards, while Justice Hill rushed for 3 for 76 yards and one score, along with 5 receptions for 41 yards and one score. WR Zay Flowers caught 7 passes for 74 yards.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes capped off the win with his best outing of the year. Mahomes threw 25 completions from 37 attempts for 270 yards, 4 touchdowns (67%), and a 131.99 quarterback rating.

Mahomes surpassed Aaron Rodgers to become the fastest player in NFL history to reach 250 career passing TDs.

Xavier Worthy returned from injury to catch 5 passes for 83 yards, while veteran WR JuJu Smith-Schuster scored a touchdown.

Up next, the 2-2 Chiefs will face off against the 3-1 Jacksonville Jaguars, while it’s a clash of the 1-3 Ravens and the Houston Texans in Baltimore.
