NFL Week 1: Chiefs 27 – 20 Ravens

Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs started their title defense on the right foot, after defeating the Baltimore Ravens 27-20 in a game with controversy on the last play.

But despite the controversy, it was a great, even match. The young Xavier Worthy, 21 years old, who was chosen this year in the draft and comes from the Texas Longhorns, debuted with a touchdown on the ground and one through the air and already showed that he will help the Chiefs a lot.

For the Ravens, Derrick Henry, one of the new additions for this season, was in charge of opening the scoring.

As for the quarterbacks, Mahomes had 291 yards on 20 of 28 attempts, while Lamar Jackson had 273 on 26 of 41, plus 122 yards on 16 carries.

But the controversy came on the last play of the game, with no seconds left on the clock, Jackson found Isaiah Likely, who caught the ball, but the toe of his foot fell out of bounds and reversed the initial decision in an image that has already gone around the world: it was not a touchdown and the Chiefs won.
