TIME CHANGE: Ravens vs Chiefs – Schedule Advisory Due to Humberto
Kansas City, MO — Week 4 delivers an AFC blockbuster as the Baltimore Ravens travel to face the Kansas City Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. The primetime-like clash carries not only playoff implications but also a weather watch: early forecasts suggest scattered thunderstorms and gusty winds could roll across the Kansas City metro, with potential lightning delays in play.
As of now, kickoff is scheduled for Sunday, September 28, 2025, at 3:25 PM CDT. The NFL and local meteorological agencies are closely monitoring the system’s track. League officials reaffirmed that player, staff, and fan safety remains the top priority; kickoff could be adjusted (earlier, later, or shifted) if storms intensify or local infrastructure is impacted.
Storylines to Watch
Lamar Jackson vs. Patrick Mahomes
If wind and rain trim downfield shots, Jackson’s legs and quick-game accuracy become even more valuable. For Mahomes, managing the pocket and avoiding risky throws in slick conditions will be critical.
Trench battle spotlight
Baltimore’s physical front seven — led by Roquan Smith and Justin Madubuike — will test Kansas City’s reshaped offensive line. On the other side, Chris Jones and George Karlaftis will be tasked with containing Lamar’s off-script brilliance.
Playmakers in the storm
Zay Flowers/Mark Andrews vs. Travis Kelce/Rashee Rice. In a storm-soaked game, contested catches and yards after contact could matter more than clean vertical routes.
Weather Factor
GEHA Field at Arrowhead is an outdoor stadium, fully exposed to Midwest weather shifts:
-
Wet ball & slick turf → offenses may lean on runs, check-downs, and screens.
Special teams volatility → slippery punts, kickoff return miscues, and blocked FGs could be decisive.
Fourth-down calls → Andy Reid and John Harbaugh may pass on long field goals if swirling winds make them unreliable.
Fan Experience & Contingency Plans
-
Parking & Gates: Opening times may be adjusted if storms loom. Check updates via Chiefs, Ravens, and NFL apps.
Tickets: All tickets will be honored if the game moves to a different time/day.
What to Bring: Ponchos and rain jackets are recommended (umbrellas are typically restricted). Allow extra travel time as heavy rain could cause localized flooding near Truman Sports Complex.
Tailgating: Open-flame rules may be tightened if winds rise — confirm morning advisories.
Broadcast
The matchup is slated for CBS in the Sunday late-afternoon national window, with streaming via NFL+ in the U.S. and international partners. Any kickoff adjustment will be paired with updated broadcast information.
Odds & Series Notes
-
Spread (reference): Chiefs -2.5 to -3.0, though volatile weather could shift the line closer to pick’em.
Over/Under (reference): ~47.5, but rain/wind might drag the number down before kickoff.
Rivalry note: Ravens and Chiefs have collided in multiple high-stakes games recently — and Mahomes vs. Lamar is quickly becoming the AFC’s defining duel.
