The Kansas City Chiefs made a winning start to their quest to win three straight Super Bowls as they beat the Baltimore Ravens in dramatic fashion in the NFL’s season opener; Isaiah Likely is denied a touchdown on the final play of the game following a video review
The game ended with a video review after Jackson appeared to connect with Isaiah Likely in the back of the end zone with no time remaining for a touchdown.
The video clearly showed Likely’s toe landing on the endline, though, and the call was overturned, sending the Chiefs – and Taylor Swift – into a wild celebration.
Xavier Worthy scored rushing and receiving touchdowns, while Isiah Pacheco also had a touchdown run for the Chiefs, who not only won the rematch of last season’s AFC title game but beat the Ravens for the fifth time in their last six meetings.
Jackson, who has called Kansas City his side’s “kryptonite”, threw for 273 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 122 yards on the ground.
