City Chiefs defensive end Charles Omenihu.
Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Charles Omenihu suffered a knee injury that sidelined him during the first half of Kansas City’s 17-10 win against the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship.
Omenihu was visibly frustrated on the sideline before he headed for the locker room after suffering the injury, and was ruled out for the remainder of the game late in the second quarter.
While the players were still on the field celebrating after the game, Omenihu, who was in street clothes, said “I’ll be ready” to play in the Super Bowl, according to Harold R. Kuntz of Fox 4 in Kansas City.
A majority of Kansas City’s points in the AFC Championship came on the team’s first two offensive drives. Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes completed 14 of 15 pass attempts on those drives and the result of each drive was a touchdown, the first one going to tight end Travis Kelce in the air and the next being an Isiah Pacheco rushing touchdown.
n the end, it was Kansas City’s defense that allowed one of the NFL’s best offenses this season to score just one touchdown. Ravens QB Lamar Jackson completed just 54% of his passes and had 1 turnover and 4 sacks. He also lost a fumble, as did rookie receiver Zay Flowers, who lost his on a costly play in which he reached for the end zone and cornerback L’Jarius Sneed forced the fumble late in the third quarter.
