Breaking news from the gridiron: as the Ravens gear up to face the Chiefs once again in Week 1 of the upcoming regular season, tight end Isaiah Likely has delivered a bold message to their rivals from Kansas City.
During an appearance on the Up and Adams Show alongside Kay Adams, Likely didn’t mince words, asserting the Ravens’ readiness and hinting at their lack of intimidation by the Chiefs.
But with the Chiefs boasting a 5-1 record in their last six matchups against the Ravens, some might argue that such confidence could be misplaced.
When pressed by Adams about the impending Week 1 showdown, Likely responded assuredly, emphasizing the Ravens’ collective preparedness and resolve.
Drawing parallels to a past underdog victory against the 49ers, Likely sought to inspire confidence in his team. However, the reality remains that the Chiefs have previously overcome similar challenges, including besting the very same 49ers team.
While Likely’s optimism is commendable, questions linger about the Ravens’ ability to crack the formidable defense of the Chiefs, especially after their last encounter left them struggling to find momentum.

As the top contenders in the AFC, both the Chiefs and Ravens are poised for a showdown of epic proportions. With FanDuel Sportsbook tipping them as favorites to win the conference, this early-season clash promises to offer a glimpse into the AFC’s true powerhouse.
For Likely and the Ravens, the focus should perhaps be on enhancing their on-field performance before setting sights too far ahead. With only two catches for 16 yards in their previous loss to the Chiefs, optimizing individual contributions might be the key to unlocking success against their formidable rivals from Kansas City.
