NFL Week 4 Recap: Lamar Jackson’s Hamstring Injury as Ravens Drop to 1-3 and Chiefs Offensive Surge

NFL Week 4: Chiefs Overpower Ravens with High-Scoring Win

Mahomes Shines as Chiefs Dominate Ravens

Week 4 of the NFL season delivered electrifying action, culminating in a thrilling Sunday night matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys. However, it was the late afternoon game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Kansas City Chiefs that stole the spotlight. Both teams, starting with a 1-2 record, were eager to improve their standing, but it was the Chiefs who emerged victorious with a decisive 37-20 win.

Ravens Struggle Amid Injury Woes

The Baltimore Ravens have faced challenges on defense this season, compounded by a series of injuries. This week, the squad fell short as the Kansas City Chiefs offense, led by dynamic quarterback Patrick Mahomes, scored 37 points. Mahomes showcased his prowess, throwing four touchdown passes to key players—including JuJu Smith-Schuster, Isiah Pacheco, Tyquan Thornton, and Hollywood Brown.

Lamar Jackson Exits with Injury

The Ravens’ troubles were exacerbated as MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson was forced to leave the game in the third quarter due to a hamstring injury. His absence was felt as backup quarterback Cooper Rush took over, striving to overcome a 17-point deficit in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, the comeback attempt fell short, and the Ravens recorded their first 1-3 season start since 2015.

Additional Setbacks for Baltimore

Adding to the Ravens’ woes, second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins suffered an apparent arm injury and was carted off during the game. The team’s defense has struggled, and these injuries only deepen concerns as they attempt to regroup for future matchups.
