KANSAS CITY Youth Matt Skura Jersey , Mo. (AP) —e high-flying Kansas City Chiefs offense when he leads the Baltimore Ravens into Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.He won’t make a tackle, though, or cause a fumble or intercept a pass.That’s because stopping Patrick Mahomes and Co. begins with keeping them on the sideline. And to do that, the Ravens quarterback needs to make sure he keeps his own offense on the field.“Whatever it takes, we’re going to help them out,” Jackson said of the Ravens’ top-ranked defense, “keep the clock running, keep the ball in our possession.”The Ravens have been good at that all season.Even before Jackson took over for Joe Flacco, who remained limited in practice this week with a hip injury, the Ravens employed a ball-control style offense. Their average time of possession is nearly 32 minutes a game, third-best in the NFL, and that in turn has helped Baltimore lead the NFL in scoring defense.It has been even more pronounced after Jackson went under center, though. He has 265 yards rushing to set a quarterback record for a player’s first three starts in the Super Bowl era, and the Ravens have run for at least 200 yards as a team in each game during the corresponding three-game win streak — they are the first team since the 2010 Jaguars to accomplish that feat.In last week’s victory over the Falcons Stitched Ty Montgomery Jersey , who have a score-a-minute offense in their own right, the Ravens held the ball for an astounding 39 minutes, 39 seconds. They did so by piling up 25 first downs, half of those coming on the ground, and running 77 plays to just 45 for the Falcons.“When you’re on the field for 20 percent less than what you normally have been, you’re obviously going to play better defense and play better as a team,” Ravens safety Eric Weddle said.“Play great defense, control the clock, play great on special teams, you have a shot at winning. That’s been known here over the years of the way the Ravens play, and we’re going to continue to do that.”The Chiefs are quite nearly the diametric opposite.Only four times in their first 12 games have they possessed the ball more than their opponents, and that was with reigning NFL rushing champ Kareem Hunt in the backfield for the first 11 of them.Hunt was released last week after a series of off-the-field issues became public.In fact, both of the Chiefs’ losses this season — at the Patriots and Rams — have come when they’ve lost the time of possession battle. It was particularly lopsided in New England, when the Chiefs had the ball for less than 24 minutes in what became a 43-40 shootout loss to Tom Brady and Co.One of the big reasons for the disparity is that Kansas City simply scores fast Youth Ty Montgomery Jersey , averaging an NFL-leading 37 points per game. The Chiefs’ quick-strike offense centers around Mahomes distributing to one of the deepest stables of skill-position talent in the league, headlined by speedsters Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins and their versatile, big-play tight end Travis Kelce.Mahomes has a league-leading 43 throws of at least 25 yards this season. Quite a few of those have been part of his NFL-best and franchise-record 41 touchdown tosses.Coach Andy Reid acknowledged that teams have tried to play ball-control offense against Kansas City, and for the most part it hasn’t worked that well. The Chiefs have been able to build big enough leads in most of their games that opponents have to abandon the run altogether.“I don’t think it changes what you do,” Reid insisted. “You have to be efficient with what you do when you have the opportunity with the ball. That is always our challenge, though. You have to take care of business when you have the opportunities.”Notes: RB Charcandrick West has switched numbers after signing earlier this week.

The Ravens acquired Montgomery from the Green Bay Packers just before last season’s trade deadline, giving up a 2020 7th-round draft pick in exchange. In six games with Baltimore, Montgomery rushed 15 times for 83 yards, while also catching 10 passes for 65 yards. Montgomery didn’t see many opportunities behind Gus Edwards and Kenneth Dixon on the depth chart, although he did jump Javorius Allen in the pecking order upon arriving in Baltimore. While Montgomery didn’t put up lofty numbers during his stint with the Ravens, some thought the team would look to re-sign him for depth purposes. Montgomery also brings some value as a return man on special teams Stitched Mark Ingram Jersey , as well as a receiving threat out of the backfield. He’s solid in pass protection, too. The acquisition of Mark Ingram, however, mitigates most of what the Ravens lose in Montgomery’s departure. Along with Montgomery, the Jets also poached former Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley, who they signed to a record-breaking contract early in free agency. On top of that, they ousted the Ravens in the sweepstakes for running back Le’Veon Bell, whom Montgomery will now backup in New York. The NFL has yet to release the official regular season schedule for 2019-20, but we know the Ravens will play host to New York at some point in the year. Given these moves they’ve made in free agency, it will certainly be an interesting matchup when the Jets come to town.
