These groups final confronted off within the AFC Championship sport again in January, with the Chiefs successful 17-10 in Baltimore. Kansas Metropolis went on to win the Tremendous Bowl, however the Ravens didn’t neglect how shut they have been to creating it to the large sport.
Regardless of each groups being among the many high of the AFC, they’ve solely performed one another 11 instances through the common season, with the Chiefs main the collection 7-4. Kansas Metropolis could have gained 4 of their 5 most-recent matchups, however the Ravens have the latest common season victory, successful 36-35 again in 2021.
