The drive hit a hiccup from the get-go. Ravens’ DC Mike Macdonald dialed up the pressure on the first down. RB back Isiah Pachecho gained only one yard on the rushing attempt. But here’s where it gets spicy. After the play, Van Noy and Kelce got into a tiff, leading to a flag on the field. A head butt from the LB marked the first penalty for the Baltimore defense.
The result? The Chiefs got a free 15 yards and a reset of downs. But then it got worse.
Patrick Mahomes suffers a forceful hit
The Ravens were desperate attempt to slow down the Chiefs before halftime. But they chose the quicker and dirtier route. After the Van Noy drama, another soon followed. Mahomes dodged DL Travis Jones and threw the ball. But he swung his hands sideways which met with Mahomes’ facemask. The hit was so hard that he crashed to the ground.

This unsportsmanlike hit gifted the Chiefs an additional 15 yards. And they made it closer to the end zone. Unfortunately for Baltimore, it put them in perfect distance of a field goal. Harrison Butker for the goal! The Chiefs were now leading 17-7. As it panned out, the Ravens lost the game in the end. Thus ended their dreams of winning their first-ever Super Bowl.
