Flowers taunting Sneed just to have the ball punched out at the 1 by Sneed is poetic

[carbonx]

That Zay Flowers fumble was a Sneed master play maaann, respect defence 👊

[tylerhunt]

I dont understand how that was a weak call for taunting... he went to stand up, pushed the defender back down to the ground, essentially threw the ball at him, then proceeded to flex staring down at him. Textbook taunting. They call that every time. It wasnt just mouthing, there was contact and posturing

[blikketty]

Baltimore: "We bout to do a choke job for the ages!"

Lions after halftime: "Hold ma beer!"

Ravens had many chances to comeback in this game. I was so surprised with how they didn’t run the football much during the game. Like what was their game plan against the Chiefs? The fumble, interception and penalties was really costly in the game. The Chiefs didn’t score any points in the second half but the Ravens couldn’t do anything to gain momentum. Congrats to the Chiefs for heading back to the Super Bowl for the fourth time.

That taunting call wasn't weak....it was the definition of taunting...literally pushed him down, stood over, and spun the ball at the rule or not...those things are specifically spelled out in the rule book.

Felt sorry for that Baltimore defense. Spent all day on the field and their offense didn’t show up.

[denea]

Ravens’ defense did their job, but the offense wasted all the hard work the defense put in. The way Lamar was throwing was weird. Lamar strangely did not use his strength; RUNNING.

The stage was set . Number 1 seed . Number 1 team . MVP . U gotta get it done 💯 period

[InfiniteCoreXD]

This was the year for Baltimore it was wide open. It’s not like they got dominated, they made bad mistakes, easily could’ve been resolved.

[realisreal]

When you hold the chiefs to 17pts you gotta win that game

[kylem]

Flowers didn't really fumble the ball, Sneed 100% knocked it out and created the fumble! It wasn't a bad thing by Flowers but was a fantastic play by Sneed

[dragondad]

“I don’t care who you are, do you understand what I am!” STRAIGHT

[Victor-itbv]

Zay Flowers taunting Karma is pure comedy.

[Solidsnake]

I've been a Chiefs fan since the early 90s. I think Mahomes is the best QB in the league right now. But to act like this was some incredible performance by Mahomes is absolutely laughable. He put up 17 points and had one touchdown. It was the defense that won this.

[itisnottaken]

Gus Edward’s averaged 6 YARDS PER CARRY! And Monken said “No, I don’t want to do that”. Ravens offense was built upon balance and they went one dimensional without even needing to.

[jamesrawlins]

The Ravens abandoning the run was absolutely idiotic - I think as disappointing as Lamar was, I put the blame more on the coach's game plan.

[mathgodpiextras]

The Ravens game plan seemed to be:
- don't bother running the ball (the thing they did so well all year long),
- try to single-cover Kelce,
- take several stupid, costly, undisciplined penalties,
- fumble the ball a few inches before the goal line,
- throw into triple coverage with the game on the line.

Textbook definition of self-sabotage.

MVS is this year's Frank Clark for KC. Lackluster regular season that didn't justify the salary. Okay playoffs so far, but clutch in the biggest moments.

Such a frustrating situation, but I love that he's stepping up.

[edupbeat]

This is the type of loss that can set a franchise back! This is football. A loss like THIS starts a domino effect, unraveling the team’s spirit. It was THAT bad..
