The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Baltimore Ravens, 37-20, in dominant fashion on Sunday afternoon.
Here are some quick notes from the win.
1. Head Coach Andy Reid's 200th game with the Chiefs was one to remember.
Reid was on the sidelines for his 200th regular-season game as the Chiefs' head coach on Sunday, leading Kansas City to its 145th victory under his leadership. That mark is by far the most wins of any team in the NFL during that span, leading the next-closest team (Seattle) by a whopping 20 victories.
The Chiefs have posted a winning season in each of Reid's 12 seasons at the helm, making the playoffs in all but one of them.
2. The Chiefs' defense held the league's No. 1 scoring offense to just 20 total points.
Baltimore entered Sunday's game with the league's top scoring offense at 37.0 points-per-game, scoring at least 30 points in each of their three games (and dropping 40 points in two of them). That all changed on Sunday, however, as the Chiefs held Baltimore to just 20 total points (and only 13 total points prior to the fourth quarter, when the game was well in-hand).
In fact, Baltimore has been held to 13 or fewer points entering the fourth quarter on just nine occasions since the beginning of the 2023 campaign (including the playoffs), marking a span of 42 games. The Chiefs are responsible for three of those instances, doing so in each of their last three matchups with Baltimore.
Kansas City owns the league's No. 2 scoring defense over the last three weeks, holding the opposition to only 16.3 points-per-game. The Chiefs still own the top scoring defense in the NFL since the beginning of the 2023 campaign by a wide margin, too.
3. Kansas City recorded multiple takeaways for the second week in a row.
A major factor in the Chiefs' defensive performance on Sunday was the presence of two early takeaways.
The first was an outstanding, one-handed interception by linebacker Leo Chenal that ended what looked to be a promising Ravens' possession. Baltimore, which drove to the Chiefs' 32-yard line on the series, was threatening to build a 14-3 lead before Chenal hauled in quarterback Lamar Jackson's first interception of the season.
The Chiefs later scooped up Jackson's second turnover of the year just three drives later when linebacker Drue Tranquill pounced on a Jackson fumble.
It marked the second-straight week in which Kansas City forced two takeaways, and in a game against the league's top-scoring offense, every possession mattered. The Chiefs ended up running away with the game, but it was the early takeaways – not to mention a critical stop on fourth down early in the matchup – that helped get things going for Kansas City.
4. The Chiefs pressured Lamar Jackson on 51.9% of his dropbacks.
Kansas City created pressure on Lamar Jackson on 14 of his 27 dropbacks during Sunday's game (51.9%), marking the second-straight week in which the Chiefs recorded a pressure rate of at least 50%. Notably, 10 of those pressures took place on non-blitz downs.
Defensive end George Karlaftis (8) and linebacker Nick Bolton (5) led the way for Kansas City in terms of individual pressures. Karlaftis and defensive tackle Jerry Tillery each recorded a sack in the game.
5. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes became the youngest player in NFL history to 250 career touchdown passes.
Mahomes fired four touchdown passes on Sunday, making him the youngest player – at 30 years and 11 days old – in NFL history to hit the 250 career touchdowns mark. Additionally, Mahomes did so in just 116 career regular-season games, making him the fastest player in league history to hit that mark, too.
Mahomes passed Dan Marino in terms of age and Aaron Rodgers in games played in those respective record books.
6. Wide receiver Xavier Worthy racked up 121 scrimmage yards in his return to action.
Worthy, who hadn't taken the field since suffering a shoulder injury three snaps into the Chiefs' season-opener, returned with a bang on Sunday, tallying a team-leading 121 total yards from scrimmage.
He led the Chiefs in receiving (83 yards) and rushing (38 yards) on Sunday, averaging a ridiculous 17.3 yards-per-touch.
7. Four different players caught a touchdown for Kansas City on Sunday.
Patrick Mahomes spread the football around on Sunday, finding wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, tailback Isiah Pacheco, wide receiver Tyquan Thornton and wide receiver Hollywood Brown each for touchdowns.
It marked just the third time for any team this season that four different receivers caught a touchdown pass in a single game, and the first time for the Chiefs since Week 7 of the 2023 season.
8. Wide receiver Tyquan Thornton continued his strong start to the year.
Thornton, in particular, is off to a great start in 2025 with 10 catches for 182 yards and three touchdowns. The former second-round pick has hauled in a touchdown catch in each of his last three games, already breaking his previous season-best mark of two receiving scores in 2022.
Thornton's 18.2 yards-per-catch average ranks third in the NFL through four weeks.
9. The Chiefs outscored Baltimore by a score of 37-6 at one point on Sunday.
In maybe the best statistical measure of Kansas City's thorough dominance on both sides of the ball during Sunday's game, the Chiefs – following an initial 7-0 deficit – went on to outscore Baltimore by a figure of 37-6 until late in the fourth quarter.
The Chiefs' 37 total points on Sunday marked their most in a single game since Week 3 of the 2023 season (41 points vs. Chicago).
10. The Chiefs are now just one game back in the AFC West standings.
Sunday's action certainly shook things up following Kansas City's initial 0-2 start to the campaign, as the Chiefs pulled within just one game of the AFC West-leading Chargers.
A loss on Sunday paired with a Chargers' victory over New York would have meant a three-game lead for Los Angeles over Kansas City in the division standings. Instead, the Chiefs won and the Giants upset Los Angeles, moving Kansas City just one game behind the Bolts.
It's only Week 4, but every game matters when it comes to tight divisional races, and Sunday certainly represented a major step in the right direction as Kansas City chases after its goal of a 10th consecutive AFC West title.
