NBA Star Damian Lillard Loved Baltimore Ravens’ Amazing Win Over Kansas City Chiefs
Damian Lillard is an American professional basketball player in the NBA. He plays for the Portland Trailblazers. Off the basketball pitch, his interests lie in rap music, hip hop and he also owns a signature shoe line. His interests also lie in the NFL which was thoroughly evident last night on Twitter.
The Baltimore Ravens faced off against the Kansas City Chiefs in a pulsating encounter with the former emerging victorious. During the course of this match, the former NBA rookie of the year took to Twitter to let his thoughts know about the match.

Damian Lillard had thoroughly enjoyed the Ravens victory
With 1:20 remaining, the Ravens got to 4th-and-1 from their own 43 after Lamar Jackson’s touchdown flip and a Clyde Edwards-Helaire fumble gave them the ball back. If they were stopped, Mahomes had plenty of time to get the ball back and get within field goal range. If they punted, Mahomes would get the ball, presumably pretty far away.
This was a crucial decision to make and the Ravens head coach asked his star quarterback Lamar Jackson if he wanted to take the risk of letting Mahomes get the ball. Their conversation was recorded and went viral on social media. Reacting to this, Damian Lillard tweeted, “Harbaugh literally said “Lamar! You wanna go for this?” Lol

Lamar Jackson decided to take the risk and it paid off in the best manner the Ravens could’ve hoped for. The risky move helped Jackson get the winning points for the Ravens, thus ending his winless streak against Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City Chiefs.
Earlier in the match, the Chiefs were leading by 11 points, thanks to brilliant performances by Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. But things changed in the last quarter when the Ravens mounted a spirited comeback. Their determination and desire in the final quarter helped them clinch the victory against the Chiefs. The final scorecard was Baltimore Ravens 36-35 KC Chiefs
