The Baltimore Ravens took on the Kansas City Chiefs for the right to play in the Super Bowl this season. This was the Chiefs’ sixth successive AFC Championship game, however, this was their first conference title game on the road.

The Chiefs have been fantastic in the postseason and they have continued their form in the championship game as well. They got out to a quick start and have been spectacular defensively. The first quarter ended in a 7-7 tie, but since then, it has been the reigning Super Bowl champions who put up 10 points in the second quarter.

However, after a scoreless first quarter, the Ravens’ worst nightmare came true on the first drive of the fourth quarter.

After Lamar Jackson‘s spectacular completion to Zay Flowers put the Ravens inside the 10-yard line, the rookie wide receiver fumbled the ball as he attempted to run into the end zone. The Chiefs made a comeback, maintaining their 10-point advantage.

The Ravens were looking to play their first Super Bowl since the 2012 season. Kansas City, on the other hand, got to their fourth Super Bowl appearance in five years.
