Ranking the Chiefs' 5 Biggest AFC Rivals After Stefon Diggs Trade

2. Baltimore Ravens

You could make the case for Baltimore at the No. 1 spot and betting odds certainly do, but it's hard to ignore Lamar Jackson's playoff record and how miserable the Ravens' offense looked in that AFC Championship game.

Baltimore is 2-5 in their last seven playoff games, though they still fielded a top-five offense and defense last year. Jackson is the youngest two-time MVP in NFL history for a reason, so I imagine the Chiefs will be seeing him in the playoffs again. Perhaps this time their coaching staff won't completely abandon the run.

While I don't outright fear the Ravens, you can't pretend they're not a talented roster capable of beating the Chiefs. The likelihood may not be high, but there's a path for Baltimore to make the Super Bowl.

Jackson is still one of the best QBs in the sport surrounded by quality weapons like Mark Andrews, Zay Flowers, Isaiah Likely and a stout offensive line. Their defense has rising stars like Kyle Hamilton and John Harbaugh is one of the NFL's best coaches.

We'll see the Ravens again, and they'll likely be better prepared this time around.
