Colin Cowherd appreciated the Ravens’ performance at home and pointed out the key factor: “At home, they averaged 35 a game in eight games and against many playoff-level teams.” He provided the Ravens’ defensive stats in the playoffs and compared them with the Chiefs: “The Ravens defense only allowed 49 snaps against the Texans, fewest by any team in the round. They are well rested. The Chiefs played 78 snaps against the Bills. Kansas City’s defense, most snaps they had to play in the divisional round.”

He further compared Jackson and Mahomes stats this season and scrutinized the Chiefs’ winning run in the playoffs.

Colin Cowherd place Lamar Jackson over Patrick Mahomes

The American proved that Lamar Jackson is playing at a higher level than Patrick Mahomes this season and iterated, “Lamar Jackson this year, believe it or not, had a higher completion percentage than Mahomes, had a higher passer rating than Mahomes, more total touchdowns than Mahomes.” He then stated the reason as well and added, “Because he had a better O-line. He had a better-receiving corps. Baltimore is no mirage.”
