The problem for the Ravens: Kansas City got the second-half kickoff. That was enough time for Baltimore to reach field-goal range for Justin Tucker, who nailed a 43-yarder. Darrel Williams ran it in from the 10 with 51 seconds to go. The Chiefs broke a 14-14 tie with a precise drive late in the first half, sparked by a 20-yard screen pass to backup tight end Blake Bell. “I know my team is going to look at me and I got to do it for my guys.” “We were strong and together and we kept that focus,” Jackson said, referring to the overtime loss at Las Vegas to open the season. Most thrilling was Travis Kelce’s 46-yard slalomin which he avoided nearly the entire Baltimore defensive unit, breaking three tackles before falling into the end zone, exhausted.īut it was not enough because Mahomes finally threw an interception in September, by Tavon Young, which set up Jackson’s first touchdown run. Like a video game with no controller for defense, the teams moved up and down the field with little opposition. “I said, `Man, I got to get this first down no matter what.” “I asked (coach John Harbaugh) if we were going for it,” Jackson said, adding with a laugh, “He said, `Hell yeah.’ Twice the Ravens misfired on 2-point conversions, but Jackson’s 2-yard run on fourth down after Edwards-Helaire fumbled secured the victory. The dynamic Jackson twice got into the end zone to his right with dives - well, the last TD was more of a vault.
Jackson had his ninth career 100-yard rushing game, tied with Michael Vick for most ever by a quarterback. Kansas City, which allowed 481 yards and gained 405, also is 1-1 in the rugged AFC West. With Jackson leading the Ravens’ 251 yards rushing and throwing for 239 and a score, Baltimore ensured that all four AFC North teams would have 1-1 records.
