Ravens' Lamar Jackson Downplays Chiefs' Kryptonite Status After Week 1 Loss

Despite the Baltimore Ravens' 20-27 defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1, quarterback Lamar Jackson insists that the Chiefs are not his kryptonite. Jackson's comments come after the Chiefs have now defeated the Ravens in three consecutive meetings, including the 2020 AFC Divisional Championship Game.

The Baltimore Ravens suffered a disappointing 20-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1 of the NFL season, but quarterback Lamar Jackson is not ready to concede that the Chiefs are his kryptonite.

Jackson's comments come after the Chiefs have now defeated the Ravens in three consecutive meetings, including the 2020 AFC Divisional Championship Game. In those three games, Jackson has thrown for just 494 yards, one touchdown, and five interceptions against the Chiefs' defense.

However, Jackson is not concerned about the Ravens' recent struggles against the Chiefs.

"They're a great team, but they're not my kryptonite," Jackson said after Sunday's game. "We just have to execute better and make some plays."

Jackson's confidence is admirable, but the Ravens will need to improve their play against the Chiefs if they want to beat them in the future. The Chiefs have one of the best defenses in the NFL, and they are always well-prepared for Jackson.

In the Week 1 matchup, the Chiefs held Jackson to just 243 passing yards and one touchdown. Jackson also threw two interceptions, including one that was returned for a touchdown.

The Ravens will have a chance to avenge their Week 1 loss to the Chiefs when they face them again in Week 12. The game will be played in Baltimore, and the Ravens will be looking to snap their three-game losing streak against the Chiefs.

If the Ravens are going to beat the Chiefs, they will need to play a much cleaner game than they did in Week 1. They will need to protect Jackson better, and they will need to make more plays on offense.

The Ravens also need to find a way to slow down Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes threw for 360 yards and two touchdowns against the Ravens in Week 1, and he is always a threat to make big plays.

The Ravens' defense will need to be at their best if they want to beat the Chiefs. They will need to pressure Mahomes and force him into making mistakes. They will also need to stop the Chiefs' running game, which is led by Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

The Ravens have a tough task ahead of them when they face the Chiefs in Week 12. However, if they can play a clean game and make some plays on offense, they have a chance to win.
