In a press scrum outside the team’s facility, Jackson spoke with rare intensity:
“This isn’t just another game. We’ve worked too hard to back down now. The Chiefs know we’re coming, and we’re ready to prove the Ravens belong at the very top.”

The showdown with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs has been circled on calendars since the schedule was released. For years, critics have questioned whether Baltimore could truly contend with Kansas City’s dynasty. Jackson’s warning signals that this Ravens team sees the matchup as more than a regular-season test — it’s a chance to shift the balance of power in the AFC.
