In a thrilling rematch of last season's AFC title game, the Kansas City Chiefs emerged victorious with a 27-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens. The game, which took place on Thursday night in front of a capacity crowd, kept fans on the edge of their seats until the very end, when referee Shawn Hochuli's video review decided the outcome. This victory marked the Chiefs' fifth win in their last six meetings against the Ravens.

Both quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs and Lamar Jackson of the Ravens, put up impressive numbers throughout the game. Mahomes threw for 291 yards and connected with Xavier Worthy for a touchdown pass, while Worthy also notched a rushing touchdown in his NFL debut. On the other hand, Jackson showcased his versatility by throwing for 273 yards and a touchdown, in addition to rushing for 122 yards.

However, it was the final play of the game that left Jackson disappointed. With no time left on the clock, Jackson found Isaiah Likely in the back of the end zone for what initially appeared to be a game-tying touchdown. Unfortunately for the Ravens, Hochuli's review revealed that Likely's toe was on the endline, putting him out of bounds and sealing the Chiefs' victory.

Despite his impressive performance, Jackson expressed his frustration with the missed opportunity to overcome the Chiefs and finally upstage Mahomes. Reflecting on the final play, Jackson said, "I thought it was a touchdown. Still think it was a touchdown." The Ravens' quarterback has coined the term "kryptonite" when referring to the Chiefs, as their lopsided record against Kansas City continues to frustrate him.

The game had its fair share of dramatic moments. The Chiefs took control in the second half, with Mahomes leading an 81-yard touchdown drive to extend their lead. But Jackson's connection with Likely for a 49-yard touchdown pass kept the Ravens in the fight. Ultimately, Mahomes' ability to drive the Chiefs 70 yards against the top-scoring defense from last season proved crucial in securing the victory.

The highly anticipated season opener was briefly delayed due to a storm, but it didn't deter the teams from delivering an intense showdown. Both sides showcased their strengths and fought relentlessly until the end. Ravens coach John Harbaugh praised his team's effort, saying, "I thought our guys fought like crazy to overcome setbacks. It looked like we had an opportunity there to tie the game up and try to win."

As the Chiefs celebrated their victory, notable figures in attendance added to the star-studded atmosphere. Pop superstar Taylor Swift, girlfriend of Chiefs' tight end Travis Kelce, was spotted among the capacity crowd. Olympic 400-meter champion Quincy Hall and AC Milan midfielder Christian Pulisic were also present, soaking in the electric atmosphere.

Ultimately, the Chiefs' victory underscored Lamar Jackson's disappointment in his inability to come out on top in crucial moments against the Chiefs. As the season progresses, both teams will look to build on this strong showing and continue their pursuit of Super Bowl glory.
