The NFL world is gearing up for the much-anticipated clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens. The two best teams from the AFC will have a face-off for the Conference Championship. Both teams have an equal opportunity to seal the championship on their name.

Ahead of the game, Emmanuel Acho, the analyst said that Lamar Jackson would be under pressure in the game. But for some good reasons. The former player added that the Ravens would be the best team that Patrick Mahomes would face this season.

I think all the pressure will be on Lamar. All. As simply said, this is the best team Patrick Mahomes has ever played against. A number one defense. An MVP quarterback and a Super Bowl-winning head coach. Quite literally, the No.1 defense with the MVP quarterback, we have seen four previous times. Every one of those teams has made it to the Super Bowl. You got Brett Favre in 96, you got Bradshw's team, you gotta go back to the Colts, you gotta Brat Starr. If you have an MVP quarterback and a No.1 defense, you go to the Super Bowl.
Emmanuel Acho said

Echo’s analysis seemed perfect as the Ravens’ defense performed stupendously throughout the tournament. The Ravens faced some mighty opponents but the defense did not let anyone score more than 30 points. The same goes for the Chiefs’ defense also. Hence, it would be a great battle between the two best defensive squads.

Adding further, Emmanuel Acho compared the two teams and said that the best Ravens squad would be facing the worst Chiefs side in the Championship game. Acho emphasized the struggles that the Chiefs had in the regular season. On the other hand, the Ravens have had a rather smooth journey in the regular season.

Here is what he had to say:

Not only, Lamar you are playing with the best team you have ever been a part of but also you are playing the worst team Patrick Mahomes has ever been a part of. And you are making Patrick Mahomes going against the best team he has faced. How can you lose? If you lose, when you will be going to win?

Acho thought highly of the Ravens squad. It is to be seen, whether Lamar Jackson does justice to his analysis. It is worth noting that Jackson has never won a Super Bowl.
