Chiefs vs. Ravens final score, results: Kansas City wins AFC championship, advances to second straight Super Bowl image

They’re back. The Chiefs advance to their fourth Super Bowl in five years with a 17-10 win over the Ravens in the AFC championship.

It was all Kansas City in the first half. Patrick Mahomes was perfect in the opening quarter, going 10-for-10 for 86 yards and a touchdown to Travis Kelce. In the second quarter, Kelce passed Jerry Rice for the most catches in NFL postseason history with the 152nd of his career.

The Baltimore defense rebounded in the second half to hold the Chiefs scoreless. But Lamar Jackson continued to struggle through the air — though he did manage to catch his own pass. 

One disastrous drive from Baltimore rookie Zay Flowers summed up the Ravens' day.

Flowers, who scored the Ravens' only touchdown, looked to add another. He caught a deep pass from Jackson for a 54-yard gain but was called for taunting on the ensuing celebration. A few plays later, Flowers was given the chance for a touchdown again, but Chiefs cornerback  L'Jarius Sneed punched out the ball at the goal line for a turnover.

On the next possession, Jackson threw an interception to Deon Bush in the end zone to negate another potential six points for Baltimore. It’s a crushing loss for a team with untimely mistakes.

Jackson finished with 272 passing yards and 54 rushing yards, but the team finished with eight penalties and personal fouls that cost them 95 yards.

Mahomes finished with 241 yards and one touchdown, and Isiah Pacheco added another. The Chiefs had three penalties for 30 yards.

Speaking of Kansas City, talk about karma. The guys on the Chiefs have shown why they’re the defending Super Bowl champions all postseason, and on the road in Baltimore was no exception.

Who they’ll face in the Super Bowl is yet to be decided, but one thing’s for sure: They won't want to face the red-hot Chiefs.

5:47 p.m.: Agholor for 39! The Ravens reach the 25-yard line.

5:44 p.m.: Risky, risky, but it pays off. Baltimore goes for it on 4th and 3 at its own 18. Jackson connects with Beckham for six yards and a first down.

5:28 p.m. FUMBLE: Wow. Flowers looks like he's got the touchdown, but it's fumbled just inches before the goal line because of the punch from Sneed. McDuffie pounces on it, and it's Chiefs ball. 

5:26 p.m.: One. More. Quarter.

End of third quarter: Chiefs 17, Ravens 7

5:22 p.m.: Let it fly, Lamar! A deep pass to Flowers is good for 54 yards, but the receiver gets called for taunting. The Ravens move back 15 yards to the KC 25.

4:19 p.m.: They couldn't do it. The Ravens hand it back off to Kansas City with 1:46 until halftime.

4:01 p.m.: Lamar. Jackson. Are you kidding me?

3:57 p.m. TURNOVER: He's short! Pacheco can't go the distance on 4th and 1 and turn it over on downs. The Ravens avoid what could have been disaster from their own turnover.

3:49 p.m. FUMBLE: The first turnover of the game! Jackson is sacked by Charles Omenihu and loses the ball. George Karlaftis hops in it to silence the crowd as Kansas City gets the ball 33 yards away from the end zone.

CHIEFS 7, RAVENS 0

3:13 p.m. TOUCHDOWN: Kelce delivers! Mahomes connects with he tight end for 19 yards and a touchdown. Kansas City gets on top first in their first drive of the afternoon. The Ravends need a response, and fast.

3:06 p.m.: That was quick. Baltimore goes 3 and out after gaining just three total yards.

3:03 p.m.: We're off! The Ravens will take the first possession.

2:34 p.m.: Tell a friend to tell a friend...

2:07 pm.: Weather is already an issue in Baltimore and the game hasn't even started. 

2:01 p.m.: And Mahomes has joined in on the fun.

1:54 p.m.: The rivalry is heating up early. Let's just say Travis Kelce is taking this game personally (and on behalf of Patrick Mahomes).

1:35 p.m.: Things aren't quite as peachy in the Chiefs camp. Star linebacker Willie Gay is "trending" towards not playing today after dealing with neck spasms, per NFL Network's James Palmer.

1:30 p.m.: Some major news for both sides' defenses. For the Ravens, it looks like Marlon Humphrey is on pace to return for today's clash, per NFL Network's Sherree Burruss.

12:05 p.m.: Truss...Lamar Jackson is in the building. Prepare to be amazed...

11:45 a.m.: Plenty of stars are expected to be at the Bank today. Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Jonathan Ogden, Michael Phelps and T-Pain will all be heavily involved in the festivities in Baltimore — though whether Taylor Swift will attend remains a question mark.

11:35 a.m.: Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney is out with a hip injury, which has limited him in practice. He also was listed as out due to a personal reason as well as his injury — a reason explained Saturday night, as he had his first child Saturday, a baby girl, per NFL Network's James Palmer.

11:00 a.m. — Rain remains in the forecast for Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium, ranging from an 18% chance of rain for the 3 p.m. ET kickoff to a 54% chance of rain around the final whistle, per The Weather Channel.

10:21 a.m. — Chiefs guard Joe Thuney is unlikely to play today against the Ravens, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported. Big loss for Kansas City if true; the Chiefs need all the protection help they can get against Baltimore's menacing front seven.
