“I feel like the Chiefs — over the years — are the [professional] football version of Alabama,” the former Crimson Tide corner said, via the Ravens’ official transcript. “It’s like, every year in, year out, they might be like, ‘Oh they’re not looking that good. They’re not this.’ They’re still ‘that team.’ They’re still the team to beat. Whether they’re losing, [or] whether they’re winning, they’re still the Chiefs, and they’re the team to beat. They’re Super Bowl champs, and for us to beat them, it’s going to take everybody firing on all cylinders.”
Despite their struggles, the Chiefs still have the trump card in Mahomes, who has led his team to six consecutive AFC Championship games.
“Mahomes, I think him and Lamar [Jackson]… It’s those two quarterbacks and then everybody else,” Humphrey said. “So, we’re playing one or two of the best quarterbacks … The two best quarterbacks in all the world are going to be on the same field, and so, we’re facing one, and they’re facing the other. I think it will be a really good matchup.”
