Patrick Mahomes threw four touchdown passes and the Chiefs scored on each of their first four drives to beat the Ravens 37-20 at Arrowhead Stadium on September 28, 2025.
Patrick Mahomes spread four touchdown passes across four receivers, and the Kansas City Chiefs scored on each of their first four possessions, in a 37-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4 of the 2025 NFL season. Mahomes finished 25 of 37 for 270 yards without an interception, and Kansas City led from the second quarter on at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Ravens left Kansas City in worse shape than the scoreboard showed. Lamar Jackson exited late in the third quarter with a hamstring injury, and a defense already thinned by injuries finished the afternoon without seven starters. What follows is the full box score and player stats from the game, with passing, rushing, receiving, defense, special teams, and team totals.

Aftermath
Looking back from a full season’s distance, this box score reads like an early warning for two teams that expected to be playing deep into January. Jackson’s hamstring kept him out the next three games, and he did not return until Week 9 against Miami. Baltimore opened 1-3, clawed back into the race, then faded to 8-9 and missed the postseason. Kansas City, the reigning AFC champion, looked the part for an afternoon but never sustained it, finishing 6-11 and out of the playoffs for the first time in a decade.
For one Sunday at Arrowhead, though, the Chiefs played like the team the rest of the league had spent years chasing. Mahomes’ 270 yards and four touchdowns, clean and efficient, made for one of Kansas City’s better afternoons in a year that ended without a playoff berth, and the 37-20 result stood as a brief reminder of what both rosters were supposed to be.
