Chiefs vs. Ravens final score, results: Kansas City wins AFC championship, advances to second straight Super Bowl | Sporting News (2024)

They’re back. The Chiefs advance to their fourth Super Bowl in five years with a 17-10 win over the Ravens in the AFC championship.

It was all Kansas City in the first half. Patrick Mahomes was perfect in the opening quarter, going 10-for-10 for 86 yards and a touchdown to Travis Kelce. In the second quarter, Kelcepassed Jerry Rice for the most catches in NFL postseason history with the 152nd of his career.

The Baltimore defense rebounded in the second half to hold the Chiefs scoreless. But Lamar Jackson continued to struggle through the air — though he did manage to catch his own pass.

One disastrous drive from Baltimore rookie Zay Flowers summed up the Ravens' day.

Flowers, who scored the Ravens' only touchdown, looked to add another. He caught a deep pass from Jackson for a 54-yard gain but was called for taunting on the ensuing celebration. A few plays later, Flowers was given the chance for a touchdown again, but Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed punched out the ball at the goal line for a turnover.

On the next possession, Jackson threw an interception to Deon Bush in the end zone to negate another potential six points for Baltimore. It’s a crushing loss for a team with untimely mistakes.

Jackson finished with 272 passing yards and 54 rushing yards, but the team finished with eight penalties and personal fouls that cost them 95 yards.

Mahomes finished with 241 yards and one touchdown, and Isiah Pacheco added another.The Chiefs had three penalties for 30 yards.

Speaking of Kansas City, talk about karma. The guys on the Chiefs have shown why they’re the defending Super Bowl champions all postseason, and on the road in Baltimore was no exception.

Who they’ll face in the Super Bowl is yet to be decided, but one thing’s for sure: They won't want to face the red-hot Chiefs.
