Mahomes perfect so far
After that catch by Kelce for a first down, Mahomes is 8 for 8 for 76 yards and one touchdown as we near the end of the first quarter.
At the end of the first quarter, Mahomes finished a still-perfect 10 for 10 for 86 yards.
The streak ended after 11.
Touchdown Ravens, 7-7.
Jackson hooked up with Zay Flowers on a remarkable 30-yard TD pass.
The Ravens QB amazingly escaped the rush of Chiefs LB Leo Chenal to heave the ball deep to Flowers.
Game paused cause of... a drone?
The game had an unexpected pause — an administrative timeout — that sent viewers to commercial.
When the game came back, Jim Nantz said it was because of a drone. We don't know much more than that, at least for now. Drone incidents have been an ongoing problem, one that the NFL and members of Congress have expressed concerns about.
Ravens tight end Mark Andrews with his first catch of the game — and his first catch since week 11 of the NFL regular season.
Andrews was recovering from a serious ankle injury that left Baltimore without one of its top offensive weapons.
Big early gamble by Ravens
The Ravens risked fourth-and-1 from their own 34 and Lamar Jackson made it work for a 21-yard gain.
Both teams have now converted fourth-down plays, though Kansas City's gamble had lower risk at the Baltimore 41. The Ravens risked giving up the ball at their own 34.
Touchdown
Mahomes found Kelce for a 19-yard touchdown as the Chiefs jumped on top, 7-0.
Moments earlier, the tight end caught a 13-yard pass on fourth-and-2 from the Baltimore 41 to keep this drive alive.
The Chiefs have now scored on their opening possession in eight straight playoff games.
There’s been some murmurs of Kelce slowing down this season. Huge 4th down grab and a great catch for the TD already. Big players show up in big games, as they say.
Chiefs convert early on fourth down
Mahomes and Kelce hooked up on a key 13-yard completion on fourth-and-2 from the Baltimore 41.
The Chiefs have scored on their first possession in seven consecutive playoff games.
Balanced attack by Chiefs
So far, the Chiefs have called five running plays and four passing ones on their drive, collecting more than 60 yards and eating up more than five minutes on the clock.
It's a little wet and windy in Baltimore today, and that could affect the passing game.
The Ravens said on X that a pre-game flyover was canceled due to the weather.
Chiefs have the ball
After a quick three-and-out by the Ravens, the Chiefs now have the ball. They started with a pass to Kelce for four yards.
