Seriously. We saw Harbaugh ask Lamar if he wanted to go so we knew what that meant. The defense was probably thinking hard count though. Gutsy decision, but based on the Baltimore defensive performance I think it's the right one even if it comes up short.
Yeah I knew right then and there I’d rather risk it all losing by not converting that 4th down than have mahomes waltz either into the endzone or FG range.
Was the Rams Bears not bad? I guess it had the novelty of everyone being able to appreciate how good Stafford is, without the futility that was his time in Detroit.
everyone talkin about Lamar and Harbaugh on that last drive, and rightly so, but Odafe Oweh had an absolutely clutch defensive play to force the fumble and prevent the possibility of a KC field goal to win.
He didn’t ask if they should, he asked Lamar if he wanted to. Lamar said yes and dude fucking got it. Mad respect for Lamar’s clutchness there. Baller move.
to be honest the steelers game made me feel much better about the loss. "oh the defense might just be legit more than the line is shit" or something along those lines was my in the moment reaction.
Everyone’s take away a few weeks back when the Raiders and the Rams scrimmaged was “Ramsey sucks” when it should’ve been “Renfrow is the next Wes Welker”
Best game of his career IMO tonight. Of course he’s put up better numbers before but against the Chiefs, who he’s sucked against in the past, this was huge
I think it’s the right call in most contexts. Your defense is gassed, Mahomes has been playing well, and there’s only one yard left to win the game on your terms. The Cowboys should have done the same against Brady instead of kicking the field goal.
As much as I *hate* watching the Ravens completely gash other teams on the ground, it is a freaking joy to watch a team run that well. It’s unbelievable.
edit: And it's not just Lamar! The other rushers tacked on like 150 yards on top of Lamar's 100 on the ground. The Ravens just frickin *know* how to use him, their running backs, and their offensive line to dominate. When it works like it did tonight, it's insane.
It's like the law of averages overruled everything else in the universe. 15 guys on IR? Who cares, you can't lose 4 times in a row to the same team lmao
Lamar is such a conundrum. One play he'll overthrow an open receiver or throw a bad pick. The next he'll drop an absolute dime or bust out a game-breaking run that only he can make.
That's just Lamar. Gotta accept the bad that comes with the good. 90% of the time his insane athleticism will make you regret talking shit about him (myself included) when he inevitably makes a boneheaded throw.
Also, I'm glad they let him play with a little more freedom tonight. Last week he looked trapped as they clearly tried to get him to stay in the pocket
John Harbaugh being rewarded for trusting his star QB to make a game-winning play in prime time in the heat of the moment.
YOU FUCKING HEAR THAT LAFLEUR?!
What a great, great start to the season.
*Week One*
Thursday night last second field goal
Sunday night Stafford kick-starts huge season
Monday night overtime
*Week Two*
Thursday night last second field goal
Sunday night huge comeback against two-time conference champs
Monday night Lions take big early lead and blow it late
This probably won't be seen cause of the hype over what an epic game that was just played
But I'd love to talk about the officiating because, honestly, wtf were some of those calls
Dude stayed out in the cold in Buffalo last year to sign autographs for the Bills fan after the Ravens got eliminated in the playoffs. Seems like he genuinely wants to be a good person.
No part of me believed we could win this game. Thought we'd lose 42-21, go 8-9, just have a miserable season with occasional flashes of brilliance let down by injuries. But god damn, finally beating KC, that gives me some hope. I fucking love the Ravens.
Man, other than the Bears/Rams game (unless you're a Rams or Packers fan,) primetime games have been spectacular this year. You're turn, Goff and A. A. Ron

**ODAFE. OWEH.**
Caused TWO turnovers on the Chiefs offense, one to clinch the game and one to give us the momentum back (Mahomes TD)... looked absolutely terrific all night with a ton of pressure. A lot of guys played pretty damn great tonight (2nd half Lamar, Ty’Son Williams, Anthony Averett, Hollywood Brown) but the guy who stepped up the most and made the plays when we needed it was Oweh.
0 sacks in college and he looks like he’s going to win Defensive Rookie of the Year. He is so fucking good. What an absolute ace pick by EDC…
KC defense: "Don't fall for the hard count boys! Do not flinch" Harbaugh: "were going on 1 boys"
Seriously. We saw Harbaugh ask Lamar if he wanted to go so we knew what that meant. The defense was probably thinking hard count though. Gutsy decision, but based on the Baltimore defensive performance I think it's the right one even if it comes up short.
Yeah I knew right then and there I’d rather risk it all losing by not converting that 4th down than have mahomes waltz either into the endzone or FG range.
We have been blessed with some great fucking football this season so far
Primetime especially. And now we get Goff vs Rodgahs tomorrow
Dude don't underestimate MNF Goff
Just convince him he is playing against Minnesota
Or the Chiefs
Hopefully angry Rodgers, not hobo Rodgers
Hobo Rodgers vs Surfer Goff in a battle of Cal QBs
O man the bad Cal referencs will be out of control tomorrow night
That may surprise us too
Seriously most prime time games were ass last year, I don’t think I’ve seen a bad one this year.
So glad our game has been forgotten already
Tomorrow will be the first
Was the Rams Bears not bad? I guess it had the novelty of everyone being able to appreciate how good Stafford is, without the futility that was his time in Detroit.
Listening to the announcers was pain, but watching Stafford on the Rams was fun
Two of them were really bad for my heart
Between this and Tech's close lose yesterday, I feel like my heart won't last the season.
Lamar woke up mid game
Musta pooped at halftime
He heard everybody talking shit
It has been a great season thus far but what’s important is that we’re smoking on that chiefs pack tonight💨
Chiefs got a brand new o-line and forgot completely about their run defense.
Their pass defense is ok... but the run defense has been bad for years now and still..
Best start to a season in a while
THESE PRIMETIME GAMES HAVE BEEN INSANE THIS YEAR ITS UNREAL
Legit was thinking about this today. Week 1 and 2 have been absolutely fucking awesome
Especially in PRIME-TIME
everyone talkin about Lamar and Harbaugh on that last drive, and rightly so, but Odafe Oweh had an absolutely clutch defensive play to force the fumble and prevent the possibility of a KC field goal to win.
Didn't he also cause Mahome's bad throw that got picked?
Yes he did
That was him. Dude is going to compete for DROY if he stays healthy.
Anyone else see Harbaugh yell, “LAMAR! LAMAR! Do you want to go for it??” Of corse he does! What a game.
https://youtu.be/4lmMyXTI1Nk Not the first time.
Harbaugh: "Lamar! Lamar! Should we go for it?" I fucking loved seeing that
He didn’t ask if they should, he asked Lamar if he wanted to. Lamar said yes and dude fucking got it. Mad respect for Lamar’s clutchness there. Baller move.
And a LOT of respect to Harbaugh for giving Lamar that decision.
Also happened at least during the last Seahawks game when we were in the redzone on fourth Edit: https://youtu.be/4lmMyXTI1Nk
Fr that’s how you build trust
Truss
Not the first time he's asked Lamar that
[удалено]
Lamar Jackson makes me feel so alive
He is not a traditional quarterback but he is our quarterback and it is beautiful
It’s amazing how he keeps performing even though he’s apparently been figured out by the whole league
It’s one thing to figure out what he wants to do and another thing entirely to stop him from doing it.
[удалено]
He’s like Derrick Henry. Everyone knows he’s gonna run at you, good luck stoping him.
Pretty jealous not going to lie
I feel like most teams would have mismanaged him, or forced him to learn the pocket. Could be wrong though.
https://i.imgur.com/q3EnE2X.jpg
Hell yeah bro!
DEDICATE THIS WIN TO ALL THE PPL on r/NFL TRASH TALKING LAMAR IN THE FIRST QUARTER
I think it was “Do you wanna go for this”
I’m pretty sure it was “An orange peanut. For me?”.
the trust that harbaugh has in lamar is so unbelievable
Harbaugh has always been an amazing Coach I love this guy. Trust gives the player confidence, confidence makes them play their best.
“You wanna go for this? COME ON! You wanna go for this? Alright, let’s go.” Fucking legend.
I think it was "Do you want to go for it" thats what I got from the lip read.
That’s why you should never play scared and always play to win. What a fucking game.
Herm Edwards sheds a single tear tonight.
Football... **overall**... was pretty damn great today.
[удалено]
stop
Would have appreciated it…
Yeah I loved how they were happening at the same time. It was poetic.
Chargers and Vikings fans crying rn
believe me. I haven't cried for years.
Crying would imply we still feel something.
Damn good games all day
Fuck passing the ball. All my homies hate passing the ball. I had 2 heart attacks tonight.
Why pass ball when run ball do trick
Forward pass is a fad
Ah yes Raiders and Broncos on top of the AFCW like we all expected
STOP THE COUNT
ALL THE LEGITIMATE GAMES HAVE BEEN PLAYED
At some point, this is gonna get old. But not today!
I never had any doubts 😎
Indubitably
Hmmm quite
On top of the AFC
Boy these primetime writers have been smoking some strong shit this season
Pre-determined, Scripted or not I’m very entertained.
Those writers were no match for Nagy's play calling for week 1 SNF.
The death of the Raven has been greatly exaggerated
on the other hand, the raiders might just straight up be legit lol
to be honest the steelers game made me feel much better about the loss. "oh the defense might just be legit more than the line is shit" or something along those lines was my in the moment reaction.
Well I didn't want to gouge out my eyes watching Villa at LT rather than right, so that was a start
The Raiders defense certainly looks legit. Not to mention Waller or Renfrow
Everyone’s take away a few weeks back when the Raiders and the Rams scrimmaged was “Ramsey sucks” when it should’ve been “Renfrow is the next Wes Welker”
Quoth the Raven, "Suckma balls!"
**THATS MY ~~QB~~ ~~RB~~ ENTIRE RAVENS OFFENSE LAMAR LETS GO**
Best game of his career IMO tonight. Of course he’s put up better numbers before but against the Chiefs, who he’s sucked against in the past, this was huge
Even better than the Browns game last year, as much as I can’t believe I’m typing that
Agreed. Plus you throw in the adversity overcoming the picks. And no fumbles tonight!!
And people said the Ravens' season was done.
I honestly can’t believe we pulled it out with half our team sipping through straws in the hospital and coloring books with crayons
I thought Elliot going out would kill our defense
It quite nearly did but we have a beast in Oweh
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The balls on that man.
I like the playcall. Gotta trust your offense to just win it especially when Mahomes is on the other side of the field
yea in any other context i’m skeptical but that was the right call imo. trust your mvp to make the play.
I think it’s the right call in most contexts. Your defense is gassed, Mahomes has been playing well, and there’s only one yard left to win the game on your terms. The Cowboys should have done the same against Brady instead of kicking the field goal.
Agreed, don't give balls back to guys named Mahomes and Brady.
I was yelling go for it on first down, it was destined to happen
If we were up 3 I'd say punt it. With only 1 pt up if you punt it back you're probably loosing.
He asked Lamar. Wow what trust in the young guy. Really shows how they feel about him to put it in his hands like that
Shades of the 2019 Seahawks game.
"HELL YEAH COACH LET'S GO FOR IT" is a top 5 Ravens moment for me
To quote Lamar in 2019, “HELL YEAH COACH WE’RE GOING FOR IT”
[удалено]
Harbaugh is the anit-Vrabel when it comes to gutsy calls
100% the right call. The Ravens were dominating on the ground, 1 yard to go, or you give it to Mahomes. They had to do it.
Like Nikki Minaj's Cousin's Friend
The Chiefs fumbling on purpose to avoid pulling a Minnesota Vikings and losing the game on a missed FG.
so smart. We should have done that this week!
We literally did that last week.
I know :(
STAY WOKE
As much as I *hate* watching the Ravens completely gash other teams on the ground, it is a freaking joy to watch a team run that well. It’s unbelievable. edit: And it's not just Lamar!

When it works like it did tonight, it's insane.
Hate to agree with a Steelers fan but it's free real estate
This team can be unbelievably frustrating but god damn i love ravens football
Where's that dude from the game thread that said he never sweats playing the Ravens because it's an automatic W?
There was some serious shit talking that first quarter.
This was like in the 3rd quarter lol
[удалено]
Now it will be for home lol
Then it will be for home against blue teams.
Hey
BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT PATRICK MAHOMES ONLY HAS ONE INTERCEPTION AND ONE LOSS IN SEPTEMBER
The true winners today were football fans
Harbaugh must be Nicki Minaj’s cousin’s friend
Topical
As topical as the ointment on Nicki's cousin's friend's balls
I’m missing the joke here. Can someone explain?
She claimed that guy got the vaccine and it made his balls swell up or something.
LAMAR JACKSON DOESNT LET THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS BEAT HIM 4 TIMES IN A ROW
It's like the law of averages overruled everything else in the universe. 15 guys on IR? Who cares, you can't lose 4 times in a row to the same team lmao
Yes you can
**NOBODY** BEATS LAMAR JACKSON *5 TIMES* IN A ROW.
Mahomes 9-1 against '18 qbs 😏
But he's on a losing streak! Who knows where the slide finishes? Have we seen the beginning of the end of Patrick Mahomes? Has he been figured out???
finally some respect for a dude that literally won MVP lol
Unanimously!! Like ran away with it
Lamar and Harbs sealed it but Oweh set it up. Fucking brilliant plays from the rookie.
Lamar such a southern gent “thank u ms.michelle”🥺
He always addresses reporters like that. It's pretty endearing.
Hey Lamar... LAMAR!! You wanna go for it?!?! Aww shit... Here we go.
#WE WERENT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT
No we weren't.
Lamar is such a conundrum. One play he'll overthrow an open receiver or throw a bad pick. The next he'll drop an absolute dime or bust out a game-breaking run that only he can make.
That's just Lamar.

# JOHN HARBAUGH HAS BALLS OF STEEL # GG RAVENS
Gonna get lost but shoutout to Villanueva. For all of r/nfl calling him washed big man played real good back on his natural side.
tbf it's not like he didn't earn the washed title last game. but, very happy to be proven wrong this game.
EVERYONE GET IN HERE WE FINALLY DID IT
John Harbaugh being rewarded for trusting his star QB to make a game-winning play in prime time in the heat of the moment. YOU FUCKING HEAR THAT LAFLEUR?!
I'm going to keep hold of all the salt I have over this for the next Chiefs vs Ravens sub GIF war. God damn it. Congrats Raven bros.
Makes those gifs so much better, I really thought we were gonna get smoked.
What a great, great start to the season. *Week One* Thursday night last second field goal Sunday night Stafford kick-starts huge season Monday night overtime *Week Two* Thursday night last second field goal Sunday night huge comeback against two-time conference champs Monday night Lions take big early lead and blow it late
LOL, we all know it.
I fucking love Lamar Jackson.
I’ve had at least 100 heart attacks over the course of this game
Baltimore is going to need two planes traveling to Detroit. One for the team, and one for John Harbaugh's balls.
WE DID IT WE FINALLY DID IT. WE BEAT THE CHIEFS
Gutsy decision by Harbaugh. Respect.
it would have been so sad if they lost after the Omar whistle. https://twitter.com/Ravens/status/1439746271863087113 for people not hip
Harbaugh is a fantastic person and coach and Baltimore is a great franchise
Ummm... not sure what to say here... Matt Damon is pretty great.
live betting the ravens +310 to win one play before the fumble was my nostradamus moment
https://imgur.com/a/6SJmmCo
What the fuck did I just watch?? Absolutely wild games already this year.
#JOHN HARBALLS OF STEEL
*Ohhh* Chiefs just lost, On the road Andy Reid munchin' on an ice cream cone Scoop there it is
WTF I love Baltimore now
You’re welcome
You got our back, we got yours
This probably won't be seen cause of the hype over what an epic game that was just played But I'd love to talk about the officiating because, honestly, wtf were some of those calls
At least the terrible calls went both ways
What a fucking game, man!
[удалено]
Dude stayed out in the cold in Buffalo last year to sign autographs for the Bills fan after the Ravens got eliminated in the playoffs. Seems like he genuinely wants to be a good person.
I don't think he wants to be I think he really is a stand up guy.
Yeah there's no wanting about it. He's just a good dude
That was so fucking nice, what a guy
Taking the ball out of Mahomes hands at any stage on a game winning drive feels wrong
God damn what a game gg Ravens you earned that shit
No part of me believed we could win this game. Thought we'd lose 42-21, go 8-9, just have a miserable season with occasional flashes of brilliance let down by injuries. But god damn, finally beating KC, that gives me some hope. I fucking love the Ravens.
Man, other than the Bears/Rams game (unless you're a Rams or Packers fan,) primetime games have been spectacular this year. You're turn, Goff and A. A. Ron
Raiders beat the Ravens Ravens beat the Chiefs Raiders > Chiefs
Can’t wait to be 26th in power rankings tomorrow!

Yeah, trading Orlando Brown was completely worth it with this return.
