When the former tight end was asked to express his thoughts, he replied, “I just think that Baltimore Ravens are too much of a consistent team, and they have too much firepower on the offensive and defensive side of the ball.” He added, “So I just can’t see the Baltimore Ravens losing this game; the Kansas City Chiefs will make it a battle, but I just don’t see the Ravens losing.”
The Ravens’ outstanding performance made them a headache for their opponents, and in the season, they almost outwashed everyone who came in front. Therefore, the Chiefs have to be at their best against the Ravens; otherwise, they will leave the field with an upset result.
Can the Chiefs reach their second Super Bowl in a row?
Despite Gronkowski’s comments, the facts can’t be denied that Kansas City Chiefs did showcase some outstanding performance throughout the season. They might have humbled a bit in the last game, but they didn’t allow much opportunity for the Buffalo Bills to score.

Chiefs qualified for the conference championship with an away win; therefore, it will boost their confidence before another away fixture. Chiefs have great players in them, and they are one of the favourites to win the championship for the 4th time and second time in a row.
Players like Mahomes, Kelce, and Isiah Pacheco can outclass anyone on their day. Ravens might start the game as favourites and with the advantage of home ground, but they can’t take their opponents lightly.
