The Kansas City Chiefs nearly saw their 10-point lead over the Baltimore Ravens get compromised early in the fourth quarter of the AFC Championship Game.
Baltimore drove down the field to get near Kansas City’s end zone late in the third period and seemed to be in prime position to score when Lamar Jackson hit Zay Flowers with a beautiful pass inside the 10-yard line.
Flowers darted for the goal line but was met by Chiefs defensive back L’Jarius Sneed, who punched the ball and forced a fumble.

Second-year defensive back Trent McDuffie pounced on the ball in the end zone, giving Kansas City possession at the 20-yard line.
This play may prove to be the difference in the outcome of this game and was among the most important moments of the Chiefs’ postseason run to this point.
Stay tuned to see if Kansas City can close out Baltimore in the fourth quarter.
