The Chiefs (10-2) twice converted on fourth down before Patrick Mahomes threw a tying touchdown pass to Damien Williams with 53 seconds left. Moments later, Justin Houston strip-sacked Lamar Jackson to give Butker a chance to win the game for Kansas City in regulation.
He missed that one. He didn't miss his second chance.
The Ravens (7-6) marched across midfield as they tried to answer in overtime, but Ronnie Stanley's holding penalty put them in a bind. Jackson was sacked by Houston and Dee Ford — and wound up leaving the game — and Robert Griffin III threw two incompletions to end it.
TWEET TROUBLE
In a statement before the game, the Ravens condemned racist and homophobic tweets made by FB-DL Patrick Ricard six years ago as "totally unacceptable." Ricard, who was a healthy scratch, has appeared in 10 games with four tackles on defense and 90 snaps on offense.
INJURIES
Ravens: Flacco (hip) and SS Tony Jefferson (ankle) were inactive for the game.
Chiefs: RB Spencer Ware left late in the first half after FS Eric Weddle forced him out of bounds and he landed hard on his right shoulder. He returned after halftime. ... Hill (heel) also left late in the half before returning. ... WR Sammy Watkins (foot) and SS Eric Berry (heel) were inactive.
UP NEXT
