Kansas City rookie first-round pick Xavier Worthy caught a 35-yard touchdown and ran for a 21-yard score as the Chiefs began their quest for a third straight Super Bowl title with a thrilling 27-20 win over the visiting Baltimore Ravens in the NFL's regular-season opener on Thursday night.
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson appeared to hit tight end Isaiah Likely for a 10-yard touchdown as time expired but, after video review, Likely was ruled to have landed with the tip of his cleat out of bounds.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw for 291 yards with a touchdown and an interception, making just enough plays to outlast Jackson and the Ravens in a rematch of last season's AFC Championship Game.
