Hmmm...

It's not looking good. The Ravens defense can't stop the run or the pass, and the front seven looks like a post-apocalyptic movie.

To quote one of America's most respected news anchors, Edward R. Murrow, "Good night and good luck."

The Game

Ravens get the ball first. Ravens methodically move downfield. Lamar hits Justice Hill for a TD.

This was a nine-play 70-yard drive.

Score: Ravens 7-0

Chiefs ball. The Ravens' defense is getting walked down. This looks familiar. Wow. The defense stops the Chiefs and holds them to three.

Score: Ravens 7-3

Ravens ball. Chiefs send the house. Lamar throws a pick on a pass intended for Mark Andrews.

Lamar could be in the "do too much" mindset. Let's hope not. The Ravens offense can't afford to make mistakes. If this offense doesn't score on nearly every drive, they have no hope.

Ronnie Stanley is hurt. The bad gets worse.

Chiefs Ball. Pat hits Xavier Worthy for a good chunk. The pass rush, as any Ravens fan can imagine, is not getting home. Not good.

If the Ravens don't make a trade to help out this front seven, they can forget the playoffs.

Marlon Humphrey is getting abused like a punching bag before a title fight.

The Ravens' defense somehow doesn't break on that drive. The Chiefs kick a FG.

Score: Ravens 7-6

The Ravens' offense is looking more undisciplined than a two-year-old. Two false starts on a single drive. More and more mental mistakes. That's a coaching issue. This is a bad team.

The Ravens are giving Pat and the Chiefs offense too many chances to get right. Pat does what he does.

Score: Chiefs 13-7

Even if the Ravens somehow make the playoffs, that’s only a temporary fix. The Ravens as a team have a stomach virus, and they need to vomit. Real changes have to happen, and that starts with the people wearing the headsets.

Ravens ball. The Ravens' offense comes out in shotgun formation and forgets they have Derrick Henry as if they are down by 20 points. At this point, 22 has four carries. Why have him on the roster if this is how you're going to use him?

The coaching staff is panicking right on time, like they always do against the Chiefs.

They are hungry to be 1 and 3.

Chiefs ball. Pat is darting them up. Marlon Humphrey is questionable with a calf injury. The worst gets even worse.

The Chiefs score again. 

Score: Chiefs 20-7

Lamar fumbles.

Chiefs ball. Chiefs miss a FG.

Halftime Score: Chiefs 20-7

Chiefs Ball. Chiefs score. It's like a refrain or a chorus in a song.

Score: Chiefs 27-10

Ravens Ball. The Ravens manage to get a field goal.

Tyler Loop gets one.

Score: Chiefs 27-13

Chiefs ball. Ravens continued to get bullied through the air and on the ground. We are watching reruns here.

Lamar Jackson is hurt and questionable with a hamstring injury. Cooper Rush is in at QB.

The Chiefs score 10 more.

Score: Chiefs 37-13

The Ravens score in garbage time.

Something has to change with this team.

Kyle Hamilton was quoted earlier this week calling Ravens fans "spoiled," as if they have seen this team win five out of the last ten Super Bowls.

This fanbase has only seen this team get outcoached, outsmarted, and bullied when it matters most every season.

That 2012 Super Bowl win was 13 years and three presidential elections ago.

Lastly, injuries include Lamar, Marlon, Roquan, Nate Wiggins, and Ronnie Stanley.

The ending for this team this season is nigh.

Final Score: Chiefs 37-20
