BALTIMORE — Joe Flacco went 26 for 43 for 307 yards and three touchdowns, all career highs, as the Baltimore Ravens won with offense for a change, 38-24 over Kansas City on Sunday.

The Ravens ruined the head coaching debut of Kansas City’s Todd Haley. Baltimore amassed a franchise-record 501 yards, yet needed a 31-yard touchdown catch by Mark Clayton with 2:06 left to break a tie.
Willis McGahee scored from the 1 with 31 seconds remaining to clinch it.
Perhaps the most unexpected development during a strange afternoon was that the Chiefs kept it close despite playing without quarterback Matt Cassel, whose sprained left knee did not heal enough to enable him to make his Kansas City debut.
