The 2024 NFL Conference championship weekend has finally arrived. The AFC Championship Game will pit the Baltimore Ravens (14-4) against the defending Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs (13-6) in the first of two Sunday games. Whoever wins this game will find their way to Super Bowl LVIII.
Kansas City come into this tie after a dramatic 27-24 win at Buffalo Bills on January 21. The Chiefs’ Isiah Pacheco bagged the game-winning touchdown on a four-yard rush with 14:20 left in the fourth quarter. Tight end Travis Kelce caught two touchdown passes in the victory.
Baltimore, meanwhile, enter the contest following a comfortable 34-10 win versus the Houston Texans and C.J. Stroud in the divisional round. Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson, who is well on course to securing the season's Most Valuable Player award, ran for two touchdowns and threw for two touchdowns on the night. He finished with 100 rushing yards and 152 passing yards and will take some stopping here.
On paper, this game appears to be phenomenal and star-studded. With Patrick Mahomes playing in his sixth straight AFC Championship game as a starter, and Lamar his first, it will pit two of the best quarterbacks in the NFL against each other, along with two defenses that have proven outstanding all year long.
Needless to say, there is a lot of celebrity interest surrounding the AFC Championship game. Pop music star Taylor Swift, who has attended over a dozen games this year, is once again expected to make a visit to watch Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in action, while several other stars could be in attendance, so keep an eye out.

Ravens and Chiefs rosters & injury reports
Baltimore Ravens team news
The Baltimore Ravens are the odds-on favourites over the Kansas City Chiefs in Sunday's AFC Championship game, and they are also the healthier. And things appear to be getting even better for Baltimore.
All-Pro TE Mark Andrews (IR/ankle) is without a status after being activated from IR in time for the game. CB Marlon Humphrey (calf) and CB Rock Ya-Sin are questionable, but Humphrey was a full participant at practice ahead of the game, and he is expected to play against the Chiefs.

Kansas City Chiefs team news
The Chiefs are pretty banged up heading into the AFC Championship Game against the Ravens, and have officially ruled out four players for the AFC Championship game: WR Skyy Moore (IR/knee), DT Derrick Nnadi (tricep), OL Prince Tega Wanogho (IR/quad), and LG Joe Thuney (pectoral). OL Nick Allegretti is slated to start in place of Thuney.
S Mike Edwards (concussion), LB Willie Gay Jr. (neck), RB Isiah Pacheco (toe/ankle), and WR Kadarius Toney (hip) have all been listed as questionable for the game. Edwards had full practice on Friday, Pacheo and Toney were limited, while Gay didn't practice.
Pacheco stated confidently this week that he will be playing on Sunday. That's vital with KC RB Jerick McKinnon (groin) on IR.
