The NFL season is brief, making every game significant, as seen in the Baltimore Ravens' recent loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. In a thrilling encounter centered on Jackson and Mahomes, conclusions are state just hours after the game, but how valid are they?

Despite the Ravens' impressive late-season success last year, they failed to match the Chiefs, raising concerns about their offensive identity and ability to compete. Mahomes continues to be formidable, but Jackson's skills showcase that the Ravens are not far behind, opening up discussions on their potential.

While Jackson's performance drew mixed reviews, the game exposed concerns about the Ravens' new offensive line and defensive coordination under Zach Orr. Lastly, while speculation arises that Mark Andrews might not be the best tight end anymore, emerging talent in the form of Isaiah Likely has solidified the Ravens’ depth at the position.
