Or the Chiefs could be down by 10 at halftime, IE - Mahomes' postseason sweet-spot.
Or the two teams could play a back and forth nailbiter, and see who comes through during maximum sphincter time.
#1 might be the most likely of the 4 options. But is it more likely than the Chiefs winning via any the other three routes?

It's fitting on the Lamar narrative that he's now got to go beat the proverbial Everest of QBs now. Go take care of business and win a ring and there's really nothing left to be said.
It was similar against the Titans in '19, the Ravens so rarely played from behind that year and then got in a quick hole and felt the pressure. Team's a lot different now though.
I'd like to point towards Andrews coming back, Humphrey hopefully playing, I like a lot of the matchups, love our defense. But ultimately it's all via Lamar.
We're also not going to benefit from a zillion false starts against a veteran Chiefs team.
