Xavier Worthy’s Return Powers Chiefs’ 37-20 Win Over Ravens

Matt Nagy tailored a usage plan that showcased Worthy’s explosiveness while protecting his recovering shoulder.

Overview

  • In his first game since a Week 1 dislocated shoulder, the 2024 first-rounder logged five receptions for 83 yards and two carries for 38, totaling 121 yards.
  • Patrick Mahomes went 25-of-37 for 270 yards and four touchdowns with completions to nine receivers, saying Worthy’s speed forces defenses to adjust.
  • Andy Reid said offensive coordinator Matt Nagy “used him the right way,” with designed touches from the opening snap and a 35-yard end-around highlighting his versatility.
  • Kansas City, which averaged roughly 20 points over the first three weeks, posted its best offensive outing of the season with Worthy stretching the field.
  • The victory moved the Chiefs to .500, and with Rashee Rice serving a six-game suspension, reports indicate he is expected to return in about two weeks.
