Xavier Worthy’s second touchdown gives Chiefs 27-17 lead

Xavier Worthy has found the end zone again.

Patrick Mahomes hit the rookie receiver for a 35-yard touchdown, extending Kansas City’s lead over Baltimore to 27-17 with 10:25 left in the game.

Worthy got loose behind the Ravens’ secondary on what was clearly broken coverage. It was a layup throw for Mahomes, which Worthy hit 21 yards downfield. Worthy didn’t even have to use his considerable speed to do much of the rest for the score.

The Chiefs had converted a third-and-3 at the Baltimore 39 with Mahomes’ 4-yard run. Linebacker Roquan Smith appeared to knock Mahomes out of bounds, but was not flagged for the play. Kansas City’s sideline took offense to the hit, which Smith didn’t seem to like. But in the end, it was just a first down.

Mahomes is now 18-of-26 for 279 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Worthy has two receptions for 47 yards with a touchdown and rushed for a 21-yard touchdown in the first quarter.

On the other hand, Ravens outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy has been downgraded to the outs due to an eye injury.
