30 MINS AGO - Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports After an ineffective opening drive, the Chiefs did Chief things to take a 23-6 lead into halftime. What’s on your mind in the second half? If you need it, here’s the first half discussion. Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports The Ravens’ zone coverage can be attacked by the Chiefs’ wide array of weapons The Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens played a tight game last year that resulted in a 27-24 Chiefs victory in overtime. The Chiefs’ offense in last year’s game had one of its more pedestrian outings and is often referred to as one of the “worst” performances by Kansas City since the start of the 2018 season. The Ravens’ philosophy on defense has always been to play hard and throw a lot at opposing offenses and when a younger quarterback like Patrick Mahomes is across from it, things normally hedge the Ravens way. Last year took some late-game heroics, outstanding no-look passes and a gritty performance by Tyreek Hill for the Chiefs offense to score enough points to win the game. This year, the Chiefs are hoping to not need to rely on such late-game heroics to win, but rather find their offensive footing earlier in the game. The Ravens defense — through two games Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Photo by Peter G. Aiken/Getty Images Five numbers to know ahead of the Chiefs’ opening 2019 matchup at Arrowhead Stadium. We have a potential battle of the MVP candidates coming up on Sunday when the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Baltimore Ravens in their home opener. Both teams and their quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes for the Chiefs and Lamar Jackson for the Ravens, are putting up fantastic numbers this far into the season. With that said, let’s get into a few of those numbers that could have an impact on the game: 367.5 yards allowed per game In total yards allowed per game, the Chiefs are currently in the bottom 13 of the league with 367.5, which isn’t a drastic improvement upon last season’s defense. Most analysts are predicting a high-scoring day between the two teams, with the winner potentially being the team with the ball in their hands last. While the Chiefs won’t need much help in the scoring department, key stops on the defense would go a long way to getting a Collapse

Both teams are in the top four in points, yards, yards per play, and first downs through the first two weeks, which explains why this matchup has the highest over/under point total of the week. Neither team has had serious competition so far, with the Chiefs playing the Jaguars and Raiders and the Ravens beating the Dolphins and Cardinals, so this is the first true test for both teams.

1 DAY AGO - Photo by Daniel Shirey/Getty Images First it was Sammy Watkins, then Demarcus Robinson. Who’s next against Baltimore? The gold end zones, the old-school logo on the 50-yard line, the home opener! It’s a big week in Kansas City as the Chiefs return to Arrowhead Stadium for their first home game of the year. On this week’s game preview edition of the Arrowhead Pride Laboratory, we talked about three things on offense and three things on defense to watch in Sunday’s game. Offense Who eats this week? We’ve seen 100-plus receiving yards games from Sammy Watkins, Demarcus Robinson and Travis Kelce this season. A holding penalty on a 72-yard touchdown last week kept rookie Mecole Hardman from making that list. Even with the loss of Tyreek Hill, the Chiefs present a deep catalog of players the Ravens will need to defend against. Who comes out this week and leads the playmakers? Is it more spread out this week? We’ll find out on Sunday. Dealing with running back injuries Damien Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Photo by Eduardo Munoz Alvarez/Getty Images Which Chiefs players are Bulls — and which ones are Bears — as the team faces the Ravens on Sunday? If you missed last week’s opening edition of Market Movers, here’s what were doing: Each week, we look for Kansas City Chiefs players that have improved their standing (Bulls) and those that have declined (Bears). Not every player will move up or down each week, of course. Players performing as expected will maintain their rankings. Others will be locked in and won’t have an opportunity to move. We’re looking for trends — players who are making the most of their opportunities and making themselves more valuable to the team. In the meantime, it helps categorize the roster by breaking it up into tiers: Elite, Starter, Role Player, Special Teams, Depth and Roster Bubble. When it comes to quantifying a player’s value to the team, it’s not just the on-field performance that matters. Contracts are important too, because there’s a salary cap Collapse

Welcome to another edition of the Beer of the Week! As always, the Beer of the Week will be presented on the Arrowhead Pride Tailgate on 610 Sports Radio between 10 and 11 a.m. on Sunday. With so many great breweries popping up around the Kansas City area, I decided to change up the Beer of the Week for Kansas City Chiefs home games. Rather than finding something that is widely distributed in the region, I wanted to focus on great local breweries that warrant a visit for those who are traveling in for Chiefs games. There are so many fantastic breweries that help make up the Kansas City beer scene. This week’s brewery is a relatively new one, having just opened this past April. This week’s Beer of the Week is Alma Mader Innovo Hazy Pale Ale! You asked, we delivered. This Thursday marks the return of INNOVO, a hazy pale ale brewed with Collapse
