The Kansas City Chiefs vs Baltimore Ravens Match Player Stats from September 29, 2025, tell the story of a convincing 37-20 Kansas City victory, powered by Patrick Mahomes’ four touchdown passes, an efficient passing attack, and a defense that consistently pressured Baltimore’s quarterbacks. The Ravens produced explosive rushing numbers, including a 71-yard touchdown run by Justice Hill, but their offensive success was not enough to keep pace with Kansas City’s scoring in the second quarter and beyond.

This NFL matchup offered a useful contrast between two offensive approaches. Baltimore found success through quarterback mobility and big rushing plays, while Kansas City turned its passing opportunities into touchdowns. The final score reflected more than a difference in total yards. It highlighted the importance of finishing drives, protecting the football, and creating pressure at critical moments.

For readers examining the box score, the most useful approach is to look beyond individual totals. Passing efficiency, rushing production, receiving contributions, turnovers, and defensive pressure help explain why Kansas City won by 17 points. The statistics below are based on the supplied ESPN game data, with discrepancies in certain team totals identified rather than silently treated as verified facts.

Final score	20	37

Baltimore started with a 7-3 lead after the opening quarter. Kansas City then scored 17 points in the second quarter, transforming a close game into a Chiefs advantage. Another 10 points in the third quarter extended the gap to 30-13.

Both teams scored seven points in the fourth quarter, but Baltimore could not make up the difference. The second-quarter swing was especially important because it allowed Kansas City to control the game without needing a late comeback.

Quarter-by-quarter scoring is valuable when evaluating a game because a final score alone does not show when the winning team gained control. In this case, Kansas City’s 27 points across the second and third quarters were central to the result.

Patrick Mahomes vs Lamar Jackson: Quarterback Stats

Quarterback performance was the clearest statistical difference between the teams. Patrick Mahomes delivered four touchdown passes without an interception, while Lamar Jackson threw one touchdown pass and one interception before leaving the game with a hamstring injury. Cooper Rush replaced Jackson and completed nine of 13 attempts for 52 yards.

Passing statistics comparison

Statistic	Patrick Mahomes	Lamar Jackson	Cooper Rush
Completions	25	14	9
Pass attempts	37	20	13
Completion rate	67.6%	70.0%	69.2%

ESPN QBR	73.8	29.8	33.7

Statistics reflect the supplied ESPN box-score data. Completion rates are calculated from completions divided by attempts.

Patrick Mahomes: Four touchdown passes and no interceptions

Mahomes completed 25 of 37 passes for 270 yards, producing four passing touchdowns and a passer rating of 124.8. His 67.6% completion rate was strong, but the most important figure was his touchdown production.

His average of 7.3 yards per attempt shows that Kansas City gained useful yardage through the air without relying exclusively on short completions. Mahomes also avoided interceptions, allowing the offense to sustain its scoring rhythm.

Four different Kansas City players caught touchdown passes:

JuJu Smith-Schuster scored on a four-yard reception.
Isiah Pacheco caught an eight-yard touchdown.
Tyquan Thornton scored on an 11-yard reception.
Hollywood Brown caught a 15-yard touchdown.

This distribution matters because it shows that Kansas City did not rely on one receiver to finish every scoring drive. Mahomes spread the scoring opportunities among different targets, making the offense harder to defend through a single coverage adjustment.

The performance also illustrates the difference between passing volume and passing effectiveness. A quarterback can complete many passes without generating enough touchdowns to win. Mahomes combined a substantial passing workload with four scoring throws, helping Kansas City establish a comfortable advantage.

Lamar Jackson: Productive running, but limited passing impact

Jackson completed 14 of 20 passes for 147 yards, one touchdown and one interception. His 70% completion rate and 7.4 yards per attempt indicate that he was reasonably efficient on his passing attempts.

However, those numbers do not tell the whole story. Jackson added 48 rushing yards on six carries, averaging eight yards per attempt. His ability to run remained an important part of Baltimore’s offensive production.

The problem was the difference between moving the ball and finishing drives. Jackson’s interception ended a promising Baltimore opportunity, and his departure in the third quarter forced the Ravens to change quarterbacks.

Jackson’s hamstring injury was a significant development in the game. It meant Baltimore lost its starting quarterback while trying to recover from Kansas City’s growing lead. His statistics therefore need to be considered in the context of both the scoreboard and his early exit.

Cooper Rush: Stepping into a difficult situation

Rush completed nine of 13 passes for 52 yards after taking over for Jackson. He did not throw a touchdown or an interception in the supplied data.

His completion rate was 69.2%, but he averaged only four yards per attempt. That gap highlights why completion percentage alone is an incomplete measure of quarterback performance.

Rush entered a game in which Kansas City already held a substantial advantage. Baltimore needed scoring drives, yet its passing production after the quarterback change did not produce a passing touchdown.

It would be unfair to judge Rush solely on this brief appearance. He entered under difficult circumstances, and the Ravens needed to balance urgency with the risk of additional mistakes. Still, his numbers demonstrate how much more difficult it became for Baltimore to challenge the Chiefs after Jackson left.

Kansas City Chiefs vs Baltimore Ravens Match Player Stats: Rushing Leaders

Baltimore actually produced the more impressive team rushing average. The Ravens recorded 166 rushing yards on 17 carries, compared with Kansas City’s 118 yards on 32 carries.

That difference deserves attention because the team with more rushing yards per attempt did not win the game. Baltimore averaged 9.8 yards per carry, while Kansas City averaged 3.7. Yet the Chiefs created a larger scoring advantage through their passing game.

Rushing player	Team	Carries	Yards	Average	Touchdowns	Longest
Justice Hill	Ravens	3	76	25.3	1	71
Lamar Jackson	Ravens	6	48	8.0	0	17
Derrick Henry	Ravens	8	42	5.3	0	14
Xavier Worthy	Chiefs	2	38	19.0	0	35
Isiah Pacheco	Chiefs	7	35	5.0	0	12
Kareem Hunt	Chiefs	13	34	2.6	0	7
Brashard Smith	Chiefs	4	9	2.3	0	5
Patrick Mahomes	Chiefs	4	5	1.3	0	4

Justice Hill: Baltimore’s most explosive runner

Hill was one of the game’s standout individual performers. He gained 76 rushing yards on only three carries, averaging 25.3 yards per attempt. His longest run covered 71 yards and ended in a touchdown late in the fourth quarter.

That single play dramatically improved his rushing average. It also demonstrated Baltimore’s ability to create explosive gains even when its overall position in the game was difficult.

Hill contributed as a receiver as well, catching five passes for 41 yards and a touchdown. His combined rushing and receiving production made him a valuable part of Baltimore’s offense.

The key analytical point is that Hill’s rushing output was highly concentrated. His 71-yard run accounted for most of his 76 rushing yards. That does not diminish the play, but it helps explain why Baltimore’s impressive average should not automatically be interpreted as consistent success on every rushing attempt.

Derrick Henry: Useful gains without a rushing touchdown

Henry finished with 42 yards on eight carries, averaging 5.3 yards per attempt. His longest run was 14 yards, and he did not score a rushing touchdown.

Those numbers suggest that Henry was capable of producing positive gains. However, his total workload was relatively small, particularly for a player known for his physical running style.

Henry also caught two passes for 16 yards. His combined contribution added another way for Baltimore to move the ball, although it did not translate into enough points to match Kansas City’s offensive output.

When evaluating a running back, it is useful to consider carries, average gain, explosive plays and touchdowns together. Henry’s numbers were respectable, but Hill generated the more dramatic rushing moments in this particular matchup.

Lamar Jackson’s rushing contribution

Jackson’s 48 rushing yards on six carries gave Baltimore an additional offensive dimension. His average of eight yards per carry demonstrated how his mobility could punish defenses that focused too heavily on the passing game.

This threat creates a tactical challenge for opposing defenses. Defenders must account for the quarterback as a runner, which can open passing lanes or create space for other ball carriers.

However, Jackson’s rushing contribution could not offset the loss of his passing presence after his injury. Baltimore’s offense was less flexible once it had to rely on a backup quarterback.

Kansas City’s rushing attack: More carries, fewer yards

Kansas City’s rushing numbers were less impressive on a per-carry basis. The team ran 32 times for 118 yards, averaging 3.7 yards per attempt. None of its listed rushing players recorded a rushing touchdown.

Pacheco gained 35 yards on seven carries, while Hunt recorded 34 yards on 13 attempts. Worthy provided a burst of speed with 38 yards on two carries, including a 35-yard run.

Kansas City’s rushing attack did not dominate through raw efficiency. Instead, the ground game helped complement an offense that was highly effective through the air. Worthy’s explosive run was especially valuable because it forced Baltimore to account for more than conventional handoffs and passing plays.

The lesson is straightforward: rushing efficiency matters, but it must be viewed alongside passing touchdowns, turnovers and the number of points scored.

Receiving Stats: Xavier Worthy, Travis Kelce and Zay Flowers

The receiving statistics help explain how Kansas City turned Mahomes’ passing production into a 37-point performance. Worthy led the Chiefs in receiving yards, while several teammates contributed touchdowns. Baltimore’s Zay Flowers led the Ravens in receiving yards, and Hill added a touchdown through the passing game.

Kansas City receiving leaders

Receiver	Receptions	Yards	Average per catch	Touchdowns	Longest catch
Xavier Worthy	5	83	16.6	0	37
Travis Kelce	5	48	9.6	0	15
Hollywood Brown	3	38	12.7	1	18
JuJu Smith-Schuster	4	36	9.0	1	12
Brashard Smith	3	27	9.0	0	17
Isiah Pacheco	2	13	6.5	1	8
Kareem Hunt	1	13	13.0	0	13
Tyquan Thornton	1	11	11.0	1	11
Noah Gray	1	1	1.0	0	1

Player-level receiving figures are transcribed from the supplied box-score data. Some individual totals may not reconcile with the listed team totals.

Xavier Worthy: The leading Kansas City receiver

Worthy caught five passes for 83 yards, averaging 16.6 yards per reception. His longest catch covered 37 yards, making him Kansas City’s most productive receiver by yardage.

His performance was important because it added a downfield threat to Mahomes’ passing game. A receiver who can gain substantial yardage on each catch forces defenders to respect the possibility of a big play.

Worthy also gained 38 rushing yards on two carries. Combining his listed receiving and rushing figures gives him 121 yards from scrimmage, a particularly useful measure of his overall offensive contribution.

His impact went beyond his individual numbers. By stretching the field and adding value on designed runs, Worthy gave Kansas City another way to challenge Baltimore’s defensive structure.

Travis Kelce: Reliable involvement in the passing game

Kelce recorded five receptions for 48 yards, averaging 9.6 yards per catch. His longest reception was 15 yards.

Although he did not score a touchdown in the supplied receiving data, his five catches show that he remained involved in the offense. Reliable short and intermediate completions can help a quarterback maintain possession, convert manageable situations and create opportunities for other receivers.

Kelce’s contribution should therefore not be measured by touchdowns alone. Receivers can help an offense function without being the primary scoring option on a given day.

Hollywood Brown: Turning a reception into a touchdown

Brown finished with three catches for 38 yards and a touchdown. His 15-yard scoring reception in the fourth quarter pushed Kansas City’s lead to 37-13.

The timing of the touchdown mattered. It further reduced Baltimore’s realistic chance of mounting a comeback, leaving the Ravens needing two touchdowns and additional scoring to draw level.

Brown’s contribution demonstrates how a receiver with fewer catches can still have a major effect on the outcome when one reception comes at a critical point in the game.

JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton

Smith-Schuster caught four passes for 36 yards and scored on a four-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter. That score gave Kansas City a 13-7 lead and marked a turning point in the contest.

Thornton caught one pass for 11 yards, but it resulted in a touchdown early in the third quarter. His scoring play extended Kansas City’s lead to 27-10.

These performances underline the importance of red-zone execution. A receiver does not need 100 yards to make a decisive contribution. A well-timed touchdown catch can be more important to the final score than several routine receptions.

Baltimore receiving leaders

Receiver	Receptions	Yards	Average per catch	Touchdowns	Longest catch
Zay Flowers	7	74	10.6	0	21
Justice Hill	5	41	8.2	1	13
Mark Andrews	7	30	4.3	0	7
Rashod Bateman	1	24	24.0	0	24
Derrick Henry	2	16	8.0	0	10
Tylan Wallace	1	14	14.0	0	14
DeAndre Hopkins	0	0	0.0	0	0

The supplied data lists Hopkins with one target in the detailed player table, although the team receiving summary reports a different target total. His listed production was zero catches and zero yards.

Zay Flowers: Baltimore’s leading receiver

Flowers recorded seven catches for 74 yards, averaging 10.6 yards per reception. His longest catch was 21 yards.

He was Baltimore’s leading receiver by yardage and tied Andrews for the most receptions in the supplied player data. That level of involvement indicates that Flowers remained an important option in the passing game.

However, Flowers did not record a receiving touchdown. His production helped Baltimore move the ball, but the Ravens needed more scoring plays to match Kansas City’s efficiency.

Justice Hill: A dual-threat contributor

Hill’s receiving numbers were just as noteworthy as his rushing performance. He caught five passes for 41 yards and a touchdown, in addition to gaining 76 rushing yards.

His first-quarter touchdown came on an 11-yard pass from Jackson, giving Baltimore an early lead. His fourth-quarter rushing touchdown added another score, meaning he accounted for both Ravens touchdowns in the supplied scoring summary.

This dual-threat role made Hill one of Baltimore’s most productive offensive players. He contributed in two distinct ways and was responsible for the team’s most explosive rushing play.

Mark Andrews and Rashod Bateman

Andrews caught seven passes for 30 yards, averaging 4.3 yards per reception. His longest catch was seven yards. The short average indicates that his receptions primarily provided limited gains rather than explosive downfield production.

Bateman had a different statistical profile. He caught one pass for 24 yards, giving him a 24-yard average. His lower reception count did not prevent him from contributing a notable gain.

Together, these figures show why receptions and receiving yards should be considered separately. Andrews was frequently targeted for shorter completions, while Bateman generated more yardage from a single catch.

Defensive Player Stats and Turnovers

The offensive numbers explain much of the scoring difference, but defensive performance also played a major role. Kansas City recorded three sacks, eight quarterback hits and an interception in the supplied game data. Baltimore recorded one sack and three quarterback hits.

The difference in pressure was important because quarterbacks generally need time to read coverage and deliver accurate passes. When defenders shorten that time, offenses can lose rhythm, abandon deeper routes or make hurried decisions.

Team defensive comparison

Defensive statistic	Kansas City	Baltimore
Total tackles	53	73
Solo tackles	42	41
Sacks	3	1
Tackles for loss	3	2
Passes defended	4	2
Quarterback hits	8	3
Defensive touchdowns	0	0
Interceptions	1	0

The table follows the supplied defensive summaries. Individual defensive totals and interception attribution should be checked against the official box score when publishing a fully audited statistical report.

Kansas City’s pass rush

Kansas City’s three sacks compared with Baltimore’s one. The Chiefs also registered eight quarterback hits, more than twice Baltimore’s three.

These figures suggest that Kansas City was more disruptive when pressuring the quarterback. Pressure does not always produce a sack, but it can affect the timing of a play, limit a quarterback’s options and prevent a receiver from getting open downfield.

The Chiefs did not need to generate a sack on every important defensive snap. Consistent pressure and the threat of pressure can be enough to disrupt an offensive sequence.

Baltimore’s offense was already facing a difficult task after Kansas City built its lead. The pressure difference added another obstacle as the Ravens tried to create enough scoring opportunities to recover.

Leo Chenal’s interception

The game recap from the Chiefs’ official website describes a significant interception by linebacker Leo Chenal. He made a one-handed play at the Kansas City 16-yard line, preventing Baltimore from gaining an opportunity that could have increased its early lead. Kansas City subsequently took control of the game. The Chiefs’ official game recap provides additional context about the defensive play and the team’s scoring sequence.

An interception can change more than possession. It can also change field position, scoring probability and the decisions a coaching staff makes on the next series.

In this case, stopping Baltimore in scoring territory was especially valuable. Preventing a likely scoring opportunity can be as important as generating a takeaway deep in the opponent’s territory.

Baltimore’s tackling totals

Baltimore recorded 73 total tackles, compared with Kansas City’s 53. That higher number should not automatically be interpreted as evidence that the Ravens played better defense.

Tackle totals often depend on how many plays an opponent runs, how long the opponent maintains possession and how frequently the defense is required to stop completed passes or rushing attempts. A defense that spends more time on the field may accumulate more tackles without being more effective.

The more useful comparison here is the combination of pressure, scoring prevention and turnovers. Kansas City recorded more sacks, quarterback hits and passes defended in the supplied team summary, while also winning by 17 points.

Why defensive pressure matters in player analysis

When examining defensive statistics, readers should consider four questions:

Did the defense create negative plays, such as sacks or tackles for loss?
Did it pressure the quarterback enough to disrupt passing attempts?
Did it prevent scoring opportunities through interceptions or stops near the goal line?
Did it perform well enough to support the offense’s scoring output?

Kansas City’s numbers were stronger in several of these categories. The defensive performance complemented Mahomes’ passing success and helped prevent Baltimore from keeping pace.

Special Teams Stats: Field Goals, Returns and Punting

Special teams did not decide the game by themselves, but their contribution is important when assessing the complete statistical picture.

Kansas City scored 13 points through Harrison Butker’s field goals and extra points. Baltimore scored eight points through Tyler Loop’s two field goals and two extra points. These totals include points following touchdowns, so they should not be added again to the final score as separate team scoring categories.

Kicking comparison

Kicker	Field goals	Accuracy	Longest field goal	Extra points	Total kicking points
Harrison Butker, Chiefs	3/4	75%	38 yards	4/4	13
Tyler Loop, Ravens	2/2	100%	43 yards	2/2	8

Butker converted three of four field-goal attempts and all four extra points. Loop made both field goals and both extra points.

Loop had the higher field-goal accuracy in this game, but Butker attempted more field goals and contributed more total kicking points. Accuracy alone therefore does not describe the complete difference in their contributions.

Kansas City’s four passing touchdowns also created four extra-point opportunities. Baltimore scored two touchdowns, with the remaining points coming from two field goals.

Kick returns

Team and player	Returns	Return yards	Average	Longest return
Justice Hill, Ravens	5	133	26.6	30
Rasheen Ali, Ravens	2	31	15.5	21
Brashard Smith, Chiefs	2	55	27.5	34
Nikko Remigio, Chiefs	1	47	47.0	47
Jalen Royals, Chiefs	1	30	30.0	30

The supplied data credits Baltimore with 164 kickoff-return yards across seven returns, while Kansas City recorded 132 yards across four returns.

Remigio’s 47-yard return was Kansas City’s longest listed kickoff return. Good returns can improve field position, allowing an offense to begin closer to scoring range. They do not guarantee points, but they can reduce the distance an offense must travel.

Baltimore’s return total was higher overall, yet the Ravens did not convert that advantage into a winning score. This reinforces the importance of evaluating special teams in combination with offensive execution.

Punting

Jordan Stout recorded one 50-yard punt for Baltimore. Matt Araiza recorded one 37-yard punt for Kansas City, with the supplied data crediting him with a punt inside the 20-yard line.

Neither team punted frequently in the supplied summary. That limited sample makes it difficult to draw broad conclusions about punting quality from this game alone.

A single punt can still matter when it changes field position, but punting averages are more informative across a larger number of attempts.

How the Chiefs Won: Three Statistical Turning Points

The final score can be understood more clearly by connecting individual statistics to the game’s important moments.

1. The interception prevented an early scoring opportunity

Baltimore started well, scoring a touchdown on its opening possession. The Ravens then had another opportunity to threaten Kansas City, but Chenal’s interception stopped the drive.

The importance of that play was twofold. First, it denied Baltimore a chance to extend its lead. Second, it gave Kansas City possession and an opportunity to build its own momentum.

Turnovers are particularly damaging when they occur near the opponent’s end zone because they can erase a scoring opportunity without requiring the defense to stop a long drive.

2. Kansas City took control before halftime

The Chiefs scored 17 points in the second quarter and entered halftime ahead 20-10. The official game recap describes Kansas City scoring on each of its first four possessions after the opening Baltimore touchdown sequence, demonstrating how consistently the offense responded.

This was the game’s most important sustained scoring period. Mahomes connected with Smith-Schuster and Pacheco for touchdowns, while Butker added field goals.

Baltimore’s 10 first-half points were not a disastrous offensive total by themselves. The problem was that Kansas City scored twice as many points over the half and established a lead that forced Baltimore to chase the game.

3. Kansas City’s passing touchdowns created separation

Mahomes threw four touchdown passes to four different receivers. Baltimore, by contrast, recorded one passing touchdown in the supplied player data, with Hill accounting for both Ravens touchdowns in the scoring summary through one reception and one rushing play.

That difference in touchdown distribution was decisive. Kansas City consistently finished drives with passing scores, while Baltimore needed a mix of running, passing and field goals to build its total.

The Chiefs’ scoring efficiency also reduced the pressure on their own rushing attack. They did not need to dominate the ground game to score 37 points.

Why Baltimore’s Rushing Advantage Was Not Enough

At first glance, Baltimore’s 166 rushing yards against Kansas City’s 118 appear to suggest that the Ravens controlled the ground game. Their 9.8 yards per carry was also substantially higher than the Chiefs’ 3.7.

But those figures need context.

First, Hill’s 71-yard touchdown accounted for a large share of Baltimore’s rushing total. Explosive plays are valuable, but a single long gain can significantly raise an average based on a small number of attempts.

Second, Kansas City generated four passing touchdowns. Baltimore’s rushing efficiency could not offset that scoring production because yards do not carry the same value on every play. A short touchdown pass can be more important to the result than a long run that ends without points.

Third, game conditions influence play selection. A team trailing by multiple scores may need to prioritize quick scoring opportunities instead of sustaining a balanced attack. Baltimore’s late touchdown reduced the final margin to 17 points, but it did not erase the deficit created earlier.

The most accurate interpretation is that Baltimore displayed explosive rushing ability, while Kansas City was more effective at converting offensive opportunities into points.

What the Player Statistics Reveal About Each Team

Kansas City Chiefs: Passing efficiency and scoring depth

Kansas City’s strongest feature was the combination of Mahomes’ production and the number of receivers who scored. Worthy added significant yardage, Kelce supplied five receptions, and Brown, Smith-Schuster, Pacheco and Thornton all scored receiving touchdowns.

This is the kind of distribution that makes an offense difficult to defend. Opponents cannot focus entirely on one player when multiple targets can finish drives.

Kansas City’s defense also provided support by recording more sacks and quarterback hits in the supplied team summary. The interception helped prevent Baltimore from gaining an early advantage.

The main limitation in the Chiefs’ statistical profile was rushing efficiency. The team averaged only 3.7 yards per carry, so its offensive success depended more heavily on passing production than on sustained ground gains.

Baltimore Ravens: Explosive plays but insufficient scoring consistency

Baltimore’s best offensive figures came from its rushing attack and the production of Hill and Flowers. Jackson contributed both passing and rushing yardage before leaving with an injury.

Hill’s 76 rushing yards and 41 receiving yards gave him 117 yards from scrimmage in the supplied data. Flowers’ 74 receiving yards provided another important contribution.

The Ravens’ challenge was turning those gains into enough points. They had one passing touchdown in the player statistics, recorded one interception thrown by Jackson and did not generate the same level of defensive pressure as Kansas City.

Jackson’s injury added another complication. Losing the starting quarterback during a game can disrupt timing, play-calling and the team’s ability to execute its original plan.

The importance of the complete box score

A useful player-statistics analysis should never depend on one number alone. Passing yards, rushing averages, receptions and tackles all measure different aspects of a performance.

For this game, the most informative combination is:

Mahomes’ four touchdown passes and zero interceptions.
Hill’s explosive rushing and receiving production.
Worthy’s 83 receiving yards and 38 rushing yards.
Kansas City’s three sacks and eight quarterback hits.
Baltimore’s 166 rushing yards, which did not translate into enough points to win.
The 17-point final margin and Kansas City’s 27 points across the second and third quarters.

Together, these statistics explain why Kansas City won even though Baltimore was more productive on a per-carry rushing basis.

Statistical Accuracy and Box-Score Notes

Accurate player statistics matter for readers comparing performances, researching fantasy football results or publishing NFL analysis. The figures used in this article come from the supplied ESPN data, but a few entries do not reconcile perfectly.

For example, Mahomes’ passing line lists 270 passing yards, while the team passing summary lists 264. The individual Kansas City receiving totals also add up to a different figure from the listed team receiving total. Baltimore’s passing and receiving summaries contain similar discrepancies.

These differences should not be resolved by guessing. Passing yards, receiving yards and team totals can vary in how statistics are displayed, but a six-yard discrepancy should be checked against the official record before being presented as a confirmed correction.

The safest editorial approach is to preserve the supplied player-level figures, identify the conflicting team totals, and verify them before publishing any statistical claim that depends on exact reconciliation. Readers who need the official record can consult the linked game recap and the box-score information associated with the matchup.

It is also important to distinguish between a game’s original scheduled date and the date displayed by different international services. The supplied record identifies the game as September 29, 2025, while ESPN’s US game page labels it September 28. The game was played on Sunday, September 28, in Kansas City local time, corresponding to September 29 in some other time zones.

This distinction helps explain why different sources may display different calendar dates for the same game. It does not change the final result of 37-20.

Conclusion

The Kansas City Chiefs vs Baltimore Ravens Match Player Stats show how passing efficiency, defensive pressure and timely scoring can outweigh an opponent’s advantage in rushing production. Kansas City won 37-20 because Patrick Mahomes delivered four touchdown passes without an interception, while multiple receivers contributed touchdowns and the defense disrupted Baltimore’s offense.

Justice Hill was Baltimore’s most explosive offensive player, recording 76 rushing yards, a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown. Lamar Jackson added 48 rushing yards alongside 147 passing yards before his injury forced the Ravens to use Cooper Rush. Zay Flowers also provided a consistent receiving presence with 74 yards.

Baltimore’s 166 rushing yards were impressive, but the Chiefs’ ability to finish drives made the difference. Kansas City’s 17-point second quarter and 10-point third quarter created a lead that Baltimore could not overcome.

Ultimately, the matchup demonstrates why individual statistics must be evaluated in context. Total yards, completion percentages and rushing averages offer useful information, but touchdowns, turnovers, defensive pressure and scoring timing provide a more complete explanation of the result. The box score is most valuable when these figures are considered together rather than in isolation.
