And these three stats could provide hints at how the prime-time tilt between two title contenders unfolds: 1) The Ravens have blitzed Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes 40 times in two games Ravens defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale likes to send extra rushers sprinting toward quarterbacks and hasn’t dialed down his aggression in two games against Mahomes, the reigning Super Bowl MVP with a knack for making plays in the face of pressure. Mahomes faced a career-high 23 blitzes in a 2018 win over the Ravens, according to Pro Football Reference’s numbers. The second-most blitzes he’s seen in a single game? That came when Martindale called 17 of them in another Chiefs' win last year. While the Ravens haven’t been especially effective against Mahomes, who totaled 751 yards and five touchdowns through the air in those two contests, there’s no tried and true strategy to slowing the Chiefs' star. He’s posted a passer rating above 100 in 21 of 33 career starts. Any plan to contain him is bound to have flaws. There is at least some statistical evidence supporting the merits of regularly running additional rushers toward Mahomes: In 2018, the Chiefs went 1-3 when Mahomes faced at least 10 blitzes (the Ravens represent the only loss). But that’s a small sample size, and teams tend to blitz more when they’re leading, potentially skewing these numbers. What’s certain is that Martindale has not stopped leaning on blitzes against Mahomes in the past, and it’d be a surprise if he takes a significantly more cautious approach Monday. And Mahomes' success handling the added pressure could play a large role in dictating the game’s outcome. Last year against the Chiefs, the Ravens finished with one sack and seven quarterback hits despite blitzing 17 times. Mahomes threw for three touchdowns, no interceptions and averaged 10.1 yards per pass. In 2018, Baltimore got to Mahomes more often. They piled up three sacks and 12 hits. Mahomes threw two touchdowns, one interception and averaged 7.1 yards per throw as Kansas City needed overtime to squeak out a 27-24 win. The lesson: If you’re going to use extra players to pressure Mahomes — and all signs suggest the Ravens will do so more frequently than any other team — one of your rushers better get their hands on him. 2) Two of Ravens QB Lamar Jackson’s three lowest single-game completion percentage rates have come against the Chiefs In his first game against the Chiefs in 2018, Jackson completed just 54.1% of his passes, the worst rate of any of his regular-season starts as a rookie. Last year, Jackson went 22 of 43 (51.1%) through the air in a Week 3 loss to Chiefs, and he only had a worse completion percentage in one game, a 9-of-20 (45%) performance during a win over the Seahawks. Maybe the Chiefs, with their athletic pass rush led by Pro Bowl defensive tackle Chris Jones, simply have a defense suited to give Jackson fits. Or perhaps Baltimore’s MVP signal-caller posted shabby completion rates against Kansas City because his team faced deficits in both games and he felt pressed to keep up the pace of Mahomes' high-flying offense. Whatever the case, Jackson’s accuracy in two losses to the Chiefs haven’t matched his typical standards. It wouldn’t be hard for an optimistic Ravens fan to find a positive spin to that, though. Jackson has made steady strides on his passing precision at every stage of his career. Through two games this season, he ranks second in the NFL with a 77.6% completion rate, and other advanced metrics also show he’s among the league’s most accurate passers. The Ravens found a semblance of success in the running game in their past two meetings with the Chiefs and lost the contests — both on the road — by a combined eight points. If Jackson’s improved accuracy shows up Monday night, perhaps he’d give Baltimore the extra push it needs to climb past Kansas City in a home game. On the flip side, the Chiefs can try to show that their relative success defending Jackson has been no matter of happenstance. 3) Chiefs rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire is tied for seventh in the NFL with five carries of 10 or more yards The Ravens lost just three games last season, and a common theme emerged in those setbacks: Baltimore’s run defense allowed opponents to gain big chunks of yardage. In the Chiefs' win over the Ravens last year, three players — Mahomes (11 yards) and running backs Darrell Williams (41) and LeSean McCoy (25) — had at least one carry of more than 10 yards. An 88-yard scamper from Nick Chubb lifted the Cleveland Browns over Baltimore a week later. And in the playoffs, Titans running back Derrick Henry plowed his way through the Ravens' defense. Mahomes is the superstar. But recent history will work against the Ravens if their run defense, which showed improvements in a win over the Texans on Sunday, doesn’t contain Edwards-Helaire.

lol oops brainfart. Same basics though. Bring pressure without blitzing, play cover 3 to limit big plays, have your outside pass rushers play contain on mahomes while also bringing pressure. Its a tough ask of a defense. If you don't have the personnel, fuggetaboutit.

sammy in concussion protocol but supposedly its more the neck

I don't think they have the front 4 to make it work.

BTW, Bmore still in top 3 in blitz % this season after leading the league in blitz % in 2019. Any thoughts that they have the personnel to follow the cover 3 with 4 man rush plan that the 49ers and Chargers followed needs to remember this. Chargers are dead last in blitz % for a reason, they don't have to. Chargers and 49ers both in bottom 4 of blitz % last year. This matters as you get the numbers in your favor if you can bring pressure without blitzing. Baltimore does not have this. Something to consider.

Yeah I don't see pennel in his first week back making that much of a difference. Keep it tight in the redzone and we'll be in it. This game will hinge on whether the offense shows up or not anyway.

No I get it. But consider it's not just us. Defenses leaguewide are mostly having issues. Consider it a casualty of a fucked up offseason. They need to get it turned around for sure but there's time and reinforcements on the way.

Defense has a lot to clean up fer sure, but let's be real, they were missing 5 starters including both corners plus their best run defender (pennel). And they gave up 20 points after all that yardage. How many games we win this year if the D gives up 20 points a game? Maybe lose 1 game total (looking at you short turnaround buffalo road game)? Sure they can't play like that and win some of the games on our schedule. But I don't see them playing like that very much; or at least our history with Mahomes suggests games like this are an aberration rather than the norm. So all of that to say that, maybe, just maybe, some of the freaking out by chiefs fans is a little much.

They're different players, Mahomes the ultimate arm, Jackson a unique and dynamic playmaker. But each has won a league MVP award and plays for a sound, forward-thinking organization that knows how to build a winner around a top quarterback. Mahomes has already won a Super Bowl. Nope, not in the least is it a stretch to suggest we might be seeing the start of something very special, perhaps even the heir to the rivalry between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning that dominated the NFL for so long. But before you anoint any competition as a rivalry, it has to be, well, a rivalry. And by definition, that means both sides experience a measure of success, ratcheting up the heat. Brady and Manning opposed each other in 17 games throughout their long careers. Brady won 11, but each scored signature triumphs over the other, and that give-and-take is what made their rivalry so compelling. Jackson and Mahomes are still so new to the NFL that they haven't opposed each other much – just twice in the regular season, with both games in Kansas City. The Chiefs won in overtime in Week 14 of the 2018 season. They won again, by five points, in Week 3 last season. (The teams would have met in the 2019 AFC title game except the Ravens lost in the divisional-round playoffs.) In other words, as yet there's no give-and-take in this quarterback rivalry, at least in terms of final results. Incredibly, Jackson is 21-1 in the regular season as a starter against every team other than the Chiefs. But he is 0-2 against the Chiefs. "Those two losses definitely make me mad, but it is what it is. Move on. We've got them again this year," Jackson told my colleague Ryan Mink in an interview last month. Now another game between them is at hand, set for Monday night at M&T Bank Stadium. The fates of the teams, both undefeated, is the far bigger story, but a Baltimore victory would give Jackson his first taste of success against Mahomes, injecting a measure of that give-and-take into their developing rivalry. To be clear, and not surprisingly, Jackson balks at viewing any game with the Chiefs as a competition between himself and Mahomes. "I don't really care for rivalries or thinking about another quarterback," he told Mink. "I play offense, he plays offense. We've got to worry about each other's defenses." Their rivalry really is just a narrative for media and fans to dissect. But it's a rich narrative. And the fact that they're quarterbacks on top teams in the same conference inevitably pits them against each other. They both have the same goal, i.e., winning Super Bowls, so they have to go through the other to get where they want to go. Yup, just like Brady and Manning for all those years. It probably helps Jackson and the Ravens Monday night that they're playing the Chiefs in Baltimore for the first time with Jackson as the starter – yes, even with the stadium empty. And it surely helps that the Ravens have a better team than the ones that lost to Kansas City in 2018 and early last season. The defense has been significantly upgraded with Calais Campbell, Marcus Peters, Patrick Queen and others. The offense has more playmakers. Jackson himself has taken major strides forward in his development. Nothing is assured, of course. To reach this game with a 2-0 record, the Ravens battered the Cleveland Browns and Houston Texans, with Jackson looking like a possible repeat MVP. Meanwhile, the Chiefs reached 2-0 when Mahomes rallied them to an overtime win on the road Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. They're the toughest of outs. The NFL hype machine already is screaming in advance of what might be the matchup of the year in the league. Two dominant teams. Two unstoppable quarterbacks. A rivalry for the ages that, yes, is only going to get better.

Here ya go, Hands, free advice on how to beat the Chiefs.

Here's a stat for you. The Ravens with LJ as a starter in the regular season: Record against non-Chiefs teams - 21-1 Record vs Mahomes led Chiefs - 0-2 Chiefs did not bring the better overall roster to either game.

Last year that was not true. They relied on blitzes to get pressure more than any team in the league. This year, remains to be seen, regardless of what Hands thinks about it. I need to see it consistently against good teams. Hard to blitz mahomes constantly as he'll eat the blitz up. we'll see. Let's see how they do against some good teams before we anoint them. Certainly that has not been the case with the ravens dline in past few years.

Sure. And if other teams had the personnel to kill us with a 4 man front and no blitzing, with a great back 7, I'd be more worried about it. KC has a recent history of not playing well against the Chargers and then bouncing back.

We have meh linebackers. Got it and agree. Good thing we have this.

gay got 6 snaps on D, including one package specifically for him, that had him spying on the qb. That's a start at least

I've watched him quite a bit. It's a lot of scheming guys open. You hardly ever see 3+ WR sets where he has to drop back and go through multiple reads. A lot of RPO and play action designed to simplify reads. And that makes sense given the personnel but i would credit Roman for designing that offense around Lamar's skillset.

oops

Much like Barry Bonds HOF entry, this needs some asterisks. * passing against stacked boxes ** not passing against stacked boxes

Not sure I agree with that but I get it. I say turn it into a track meet and not a slug fest. Easier said than done though.
