 Watch Baltimore Ravens vs Kansas City Chiefs LIVE Stream Coverage Free ON AFC Championship Game TV Channel 28 January 2024

We are now just a day away from the conference title games. In the first of Sunday's two contests, the No. 1 seed Baltimore Ravens will host the No. 3 seed Kansas City Chiefs for the right to call themselves AFC champions. In our effort to break down these matchups from every conceivable angle, we're going to use this space to do a little tale of the tape type of comparison, breaking down which team has the edge at every different position. We'll do the same for the NFC finalists.

Without further ado...
 


 
Lamar Jackson is likely going to be named NFL MVP in a few weeks. He had a fantastic season, completing a career-best 67.2% of his passes at a career-high 8.1 yards per attempt, with 24 touchdowns against just seven interceptions, and he added 821 yards and five additional scores on the ground. It wasn't quite as legendary as his 2019 MVP campaign, but it was still really damn good.
Patrick Mahomes had a down season by his standards, matching Lamar with a 67.2% completion rate, but averaging a career-low 7.0 yards per attempt, with 27 touchdowns against a carer-high 14 interceptions. Obviously, we know all about the Chiefs' offensive struggles throughout this season and how Mahomes was consistently let down by his offensive line and especially his wide receivers; but still, Mahomes finished the regular season ranked just 10th in EPA/dropback, per Tru Media, the first time in his career he's finished outside the top.
And yet, Mahomes is playing in his sixth consecutive AFC title game, having won three of the previous five. I find it extremely hard to bet against him in any scenario, and although Jackson had the better season, there is at the same time little doubt in my mind that Mahomes is the better player. That doesn't necessarily mean the Chiefs will win, just that Kansas City has the edge at the game's most important position.
 If Baltimore's running backs were healthy, this would be more of a debate. J.K. Dobbins and Keaton Mitchell bring a greater level of explosiveness than do Gus Edwards and Justice Hill (or Dalvin Cook), who mostly gain the yards that are blocked and not much more. Among the 68 running backs with 50-plus carries this season, they ranked 43rd (Edwards) and 45th (Hill) in explosive run rate. Isiah Pacheco was far ahead of both, even if he only ranked 26th, and he has proven to have far more utility as a pass-catcher than Edwards, in particular. Pacheco's ability to create yards after contact with his violent running style is key for Kansas City's offense.
 When the Chiefs embarked on their offensive line makeover after being torn asunder by the Buccaneers in the Super Bowl a few years ago, it was never supposed to be in the cards that they'd be working at a deficit up front. But their decisions at tackle this past offseason -- signing Jawaan Taylor to a massive deal and Donovan Smith to a smaller one -- did not work out. Meanwhile, the Ravens are once again one of the NFL's best in the trenches, even with Ronnie Stanley not being quite himself. Particularly on the right side of the line with Kevin Zeitler and Morgan Moses, Baltimore can just maul opponents, and center Tyler Linderbaum has given the group more athleticism.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens are scheduled to meet in the 2024 AFC Championship Game at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore on Sunday, Jan. 28. The game is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. ET/2 p.m. CT.
