Back in 2019, at the end of a long table, cornered at a Kansas City hotel restaurant awaiting the Chiefs game, I watched a bartender flick on the Baltimore Ravens-Tennessee Titans wild-card matchup and announce, to no one in particular, that Baltimore was going to lose because “they just hadn’t been punched in the mouth yet.”
This seemed like a patently ridiculous observation (so much so that I’m sure I tweeted it). At the time, Baltimore was 14–2. The Ravens had the best offense in the NFL and the third-best defense. Lamar Jackson was en route to an MVP season.

Ko held a late 3-shot lead but somehow watched as Nelly Korda took the LPGA Drive On Championship from her.
Lydia Ko had an excellent shot at starting her 2024 LPGA season with back-to-back wins. However, she came up just short, both figuratively and literally, in a two-hole playoff to Nelly Korda at the LPGA Drive On Championship at Bradenton Country Club in Bradenton, Fla.
Through three holes Sunday, Ko was six shots back of Korda. Yet, she fought back and played incredible golf during her final couple holes.

The Kansas City Chiefs are going back to the Super Bowl to defend their title from the 2022 season after their 17—10 victory over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship game, and Travis Kelce is on top of the world. 
Kelce, who torched the Ravens’ defense for 11 catches, 116 yards and a touchdown, shared a kiss with girlfriend and pop star Taylor Swift after the game, then embraced his brother Jason on the field. 
Jason Kelce had a message for his brother, emphatically telling Travis to “finish this mother****er.

It’s official. Giannis Antetokounmpo is the biggest fan of chicken wings in the NBA.
Saturday night, the Milwaukee Bucks trounced the New Orleans Pelicans 141-117. As such, both teams emptied their benches late in the fourth quarter to give the starters some rest.
So there Antetokounmpo was, minding his own business on the sideline. Pelicans guard Naji Marshall stepped up to the free-throw line to shoot some inconsequential free throws with under three minutes left.
Except, were they inconsequential?
Marshall missed the first attempt. Surprisingly, the crowd cheered rather loudly.

Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce is going to his fourth career Super Bowl, but this year, he’s doing so with his world-famous girlfriend, Taylor Swift, by his side.
No stranger to the spotlight, the Eras Tour performer was spotted on the field after the Chiefs’ 17—10 win over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship game. Kelce and Swift embraced each other and shared an adorable kiss while surrounded by a swarm of reporters.

Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense are playing like themselves again just in time for Super Bowl
Patrick Mahomes is leading the Kansas City Chiefs to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in six seasons as a starter.
That’s incredible. Yet, it has caught us all off guard. Shame on us.
Patrick Lavon Mahomes II will probably play another dozen seasons or so in the NFL. He is basically already a lock to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame at the age of 28.

Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens fell short of clinching a Super Bowl berth, losing 17–10 to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship on Sunday.
In the waning moments of the game, just after Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes connected on a deep pass with wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling in order to seal Kansas City’s victory, an emotional Jackson could be seen watching on in disappointment.
Veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was leaning over the Ravens quarterback and offering him some words of encouragement following a crushing loss.

The Kansas City Chiefs are heading back to the Super Bowl after taking down the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship, 17–10.
While the game was headlined by offensive superstars Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson, it turned out to be a defensive slugfest, and no player made a bigger impact for the Chiefs than cornerback L’Jarius Sneed.
At the start of the fourth quarter with Kansas City threatening to score, Sneed made a touchdown-saving play on Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers. After a reception, Flowers reached the ball for the end zone.

Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs are heading back to the Super Bowl yet again after beating Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens, 17-10, in Sunday’s AFC championship game at M&T Bank Stadium. 
The Chiefs are the defending champs and have been to four Super Bowls in the last five years. This season’s run to the big game had some bumps along the way, and plenty of critics taking shots at the team and its struggles.
