Chiefs vs Ravens is scheduled to begin at 8:15 p.m. ET / 5:15 p.m. PT today (Monday, Sept 28).
It's on ESPN, closing out week 3 on Monday Night Football.

It's game time! Today's Chiefs vs Ravens live stream has all the potential in the world, featuring the kind of all-star duel we always hope to catch, but don't always actually see. Two of the best QBs, the previous seasons' last league MVPs are about to go head to head, as Patrick Mahomes leads the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs against Lamar Jackson and his Baltimore Ravens.

Of course, there's a bit of larger-scale intrigue here. Both teams are undefeated, and since Lamar won that MVP trophy last year and the Chiefs won the Super Bowl that same year, a win here says a lot about who is the most dominant team in the league. And for the Chiefs to win this NFL live stream, they'll have to set their own (fast) pace early.

This AFC bout — which many had expected would be a major face-off in last year's playoffs — will test a conventional wisdom going around that the Ravens defense isn't going to have any luck with Mahomes' offense. There's a belief that Mahomes will perform his best against Baltimore's aggressive defense, and we shall see if his efficient offense truly wins out.

Even though Kansas City has yet to have a game with truly amazing offense, they're still picked by many to win this matchup. But it shouldn't be close.

The Chiefs vs Ravens game could very well be a shootout thanks to two stacked offenses, and should be one of the more entertaining games of the week. Here's everything you need to know to catch the game live.

How to watch Chiefs vs Ravens live streams with a VPN
