Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely directed his anger at Kansas City Chiefs fans after the Ravens' opening-night loss to the Chiefs.
Likely was the offensive star of the game for the Ravens, catching nine passes for 111 yards and a touchdown. Likely nearly scored a clutch, last-second touchdown that would have given the Ravens the opportunity to force overtime or win the game, but referees overturned the touchdown after replays showed Likely's toe was out of bounds by the thinnest of margins.
As the Ravens walked off the field and into the locker room tunnel, one video caught Likely shouting an obscenity at Chiefs fans.

Likely still seemed bitter about the result after the game. While speaking to reporters, Likely noted that the Ravens nearly beat the Chiefs, even with a sloppy, penalty-plagued performance.
"This is probably the worst game we gonna play all year. So if this their best that they got, I mean, good luck in the postseason."

Of course, the Chiefs have beaten the Ravens five times in their last six contests, including the 2023 AFC Championship last year. Likely and the Ravens should feel confident that they can beat the Chiefs if they put together a solid, 60-minute performance, but Likely should also be cautious about giving the Chiefs any extra motivation.
