The Kansas City Chiefs subdued the Baltimore Ravens 37–20 at GEHA Field at Arrowhead in their Week 4 matchup — a game where the offense found rhythm and the defense repeatedly forced mistakes. Patrick Mahomes threw four touchdown passes to help the Chiefs climb back to 2–2 after four weeks.

Butfor one Kansas City pillar, the postgame joy quickly faded when he received heartbreaking personal news. Isiah Pacheco — who had scored in the second half — revealed after the game that his grandfather had been rushed to the hospital with a heart attack shortly before kickoff. “I celebrated like I always do, but now it feels completely different,” Pacheco said quietly. “That touchdown was for him. I just pray he pulls through.”

 

Pacheco’s touchdown came on a left-side checkdown: Mahomes flipped a short pass to No. 10, who burst into the end zone at the 1:41 mark of the second quarter, capping an 8-yard catch-and-run that ignited Arrowhead before halftime. The sequence wasn’t flashy, but it was precise and disciplined — the exact tempo Kansas City rediscovered in this game.

Inside the locker room, teammates gathered around Pacheco with hugs and words of support. “Football is our passion, but family is everything,” one teammate said.

On the field, Mahomes spread the ball to multiple weapons: JuJu Smith-Schuster (4 yards), Tyquan Thornton (11 yards), Marquise “Hollywood” Brown (15 yards), and Isiah Pacheco (8 yards) all caught touchdown passes — four scoring strikes that ultimately decided the contest. On the other side, Lamar Jackson was intercepted by Leo Chenal late in the first half, and the Chiefs’ pass rush kept the Ravens out of rhythm.

For Kansas City, it was a complete win in both pace and message: they can explode at the right moments to close out a game. For Pacheco, the afternoon at Arrowhead meant far more than numbers — it was a tribute to family under the bright lights of the NFL.

 

Ravens Fan-Favourite CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Baltimore, MD – October 8, 2025Baltimore Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin, Justin “Spidey” Fuller — a respected military-trained skydiving instructor — died in a tragic tandem jump accident outside Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending personnel for their efforts. Known by the nickname “Spidey,” Fuller died after a tandem skydive went wrong on October 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Beloved in the skydiving community, Spidey had completed more than 5,000 jumps and helped train U.S. service members in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused and devoted to lifting others higher — in life and in the air.” Wiggins — whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Nate that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Nate lives and plays today.” Wiggins, a former first-round pick from Clemson, has steadily earned the Ravens’ trust as a rotational cornerback in nickel/dime packages, praised for his speed, press technique, and ability to carry deep routes. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years,” calm under pressure, and disciplined at the catch point. Through the first five games of 2025, he has 12 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception, reinforcing his value on the perimeter.  The Ravens organization has provided time and private support for Wiggins and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in on social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans across the country.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Wiggins kept his public comments brief, speaking softly before being embraced by teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
