KANSAS CITY Josh Allen Jersey , Mo. (AP) — in stopping the high-flying Kansas City Chiefs offense when he leads the Baltimore Ravens into Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.He won’t make a tackle, though, or cause a fumble or intercept a pass.That’s because stopping Patrick Mahomes and Co. begins with keeping them on the sideline. And to do that, the Ravens quarterback needs to make sure he keeps his own offense on the field.“Whatever it takes, we’re going to help them out,” Jackson said of the Ravens’ top-ranked defense, “keep the clock running, keep the ball in our possession.”The Ravens have been good at that all season.Even before Jackson took over for Joe Flacco, who remained limited in practice this week with a hip injury, the Ravens employed a ball-control style offense. Their average time of possession is nearly 32 minutes a game, third-best in the NFL, and that in turn has helped Baltimore lead the NFL in scoring defense.It has been even more pronounced after Jackson went under center, though. He has 265 yards rushing to set a quarterback record for a player’s first three starts in the Super Bowl era, and the Ravens have run for at least 200 yards as a team in each game during the corresponding three-game win streak — they are the first team since the 2010 Jaguars to accomplish that feat.In last week’s victory over the Falcons, who have a score-a-minute offense in their own right Jawaan Taylor Jersey , the Ravens held the ball for an astounding 39 minutes, 39 seconds. They did so by piling up 25 first downs, half of those coming on the ground, and running 77 plays to just 45 for the Falcons.“When you’re on the field for 20 percent less than what you normally have been, you’re obviously going to play better defense and play better as a team,” Ravens safety Eric Weddle said.“Play great defense, control the clock, play great on special teams, you have a shot at winning. That’s been known here over the years of the way the Ravens play, and we’re going to continue to do that.”The Chiefs are quite nearly the diametric opposite.Only four times in their first 12 games have they possessed the ball more than their opponents, and that was with reigning NFL rushing champ Kareem Hunt in the backfield for the first 11 of them.Hunt was released last week after a series of off-the-field issues became public.In fact, both of the Chiefs’ losses this season — at the Patriots and Rams — have come when they’ve lost the time of possession battle. It was particularly lopsided in New England, when the Chiefs had the ball for less than 24 minutes in what became a 43-40 shootout loss to Tom Brady and Co.One of the big reasons for the disparity is that Kansas City simply scores fast, averaging an NFL-leading 37 points per game. The Chiefs’ quick-strike offense centers around Mahomes distributing to one of the deepest stables of skill-position talent in the league, headlined by speedsters Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins and their versatile Josh Oliver Jersey , big-play tight end Travis Kelce.Mahomes has a league-leading 43 throws of at least 25 yards this season. Quite a few of those have been part of his NFL-best and franchise-record 41 touchdown tosses.Coach Andy Reid acknowledged that teams have tried to play ball-control offense against Kansas City, and for the most part it hasn’t worked that well. The Chiefs have been able to build big enough leads in most of their games that opponents have to abandon the run altogether.“I don’t think it changes what you do,” Reid insisted. “You have to be efficient with what you do when you have the opportunity with the ball. That is always our challenge, though. You have to take care of business when you have the opportunities.”Notes: RB Charcandrick West has switched numbers after signing earlier this week.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Jameis Winston returned, and it wasn’t enough for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Their playoff hopes are just about done after a 26-20 overtime loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.A season that started with rising expectations seems to be ending in a painfully familiar way for the franchise — in last place in the NFC South with dim prospects for the postseason.Still, Winston refused to focus on anything but getting better for next week’s game against Detroit. The quarterback missed Tampa Bay’s three previous contests with a shoulder injury.“I can’t really tell you about the future right now,” he said. “No one in this room can predict the future right now, so we’ve just got to keep building and getting better every single day.”Statistically, the offense had a decent day for Tampa Bay (4-. Peyton Barber ran for 102 yards on 23 carries with starter Doug Martin sidelined by a concussion.More Tampa Bay Buccaneers newsTitans force 4 turnovers by Winston, hold off Tampa BaySloppy Winston dooms Bucs in 37-26 loss to PanthersBridgewater’s breakout lifts Saints past Bucs 31-24Buccaneers drop Rams 55-40 behind Jameis Winston’s 4 touchdown passesBuccaneers go down to Giants after Daniel Jones rushes for game-winning TDWinston was 21 of 32 for 270 yards and two touchdown passes to tight end Cameron Brate.“I thought Jameis played good. He did a good job except the one play,” coach Dirk Koetter said.He didn’t specify the play, though Packers defensive lineman Dean Lowry might have an idea.Winston fumbled on a sack by Kenny Clark in the second quarter. The 6-foot-6, 296-pound Lowry snatched the loose ball in the air and rumbled 62 yards for a touchdown and Lambeau leap with a 17-7 lead.“I don’t even know how the ball came out,” Winston said. “When I reared it back (my arm) hit something.”It was one of seven sacks on the day for the Packers Deandre Baker Jersey , with Clay Matthews leading the pass rush with 2 1/2.“That’s probably our worst protection game we’ve had all year,” Koetter said.Winston also fumbled in the fourth quarter following Evan Smith’s early snap. He was whistled for an illegal forward pass on the next play, but the mistakes were erased by his second touchdown pass to Brate on third-and-11 for a 20-17 lead with 6:02 left in regulation.Winston refused to blame his offensive line for poor protection, though there were a couple communication issues with Smith. He was a last-minute replacement at center after starter Joe Hawley was scratched due to illness.Two other starters on the offensive line were placed on injured reserve earlier in the week.“So I don’t think it’s right to be able to say that they did subpar when they overcame so much in this day,” Winston said.His day started out so well, too, connecting with Brate for a 28-yard touchdown pass on the game’s opening drive. Brate made a nice one-handed grab, extending his right arm in front of him toward the goal line after beating his defender.“Today with Jameis back, he really trusts me with those crucial situations and he gave me a couple opportunities,” Brate said.But not enough to get a win, not with one too many turnovers.So chalk up the trip to Lambeau Field as another lesson for the promising young quarterback in just his third NFL season.“We’ve got to remember he’s 23 years old,” Koetter said, “and experience is still the best teacher.”107<button class="view-gallery">View Gallery</button> Gallery:Tampa Bay Buccaneers cheerleader photo galleryReinhold Matay-USA TODAY Sports | Reinhold Matay
