The Kansas City Chiefs face the Baltimore Ravens in a highly anticipated Week 2 Sunday Night Football matchup featuring star quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson.

The Chiefs enter after a comeback victory against the Cleveland Browns in Week 1, where they overcame early struggles to win despite allowing 457 yards. Key turnovers forced by the Kansas City defense proved decisive in securing the win.

The Ravens aim to bounce back from their Monday Night Football loss to the Raiders, where Lamar Jackson's fumbles and accuracy issues contributed to their defeat. Baltimore's depleted secondary, which allowed over 400 passing yards to Derek Carr, faces another tough test against the Chiefs' high-powered offense.

Key Factors for Success:

Chiefs:

• Must avoid another slow start
• Build on last season's primetime victory over Baltimore
• Maintain momentum from Week 1 comeback win

Ravens:

• Lamar Jackson needs to improve passing performance
• Protect the football better than Week 1
• Secondary must contain Mahomes, Hill, and Kelce despite injuries

The matchup pits Jackson's historically mixed record against playoff-caliber teams against the Chiefs' proven ability to overcome adversity. Baltimore looks to avoid starting 0-2, while Kansas City aims for their second straight win against AFC North opposition.
