The Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens have both accumulated a lot of wins over the past three NFL seasons and now they’re getting set to meet on “Monday Night Football.”
In fact, these two teams are the winningest teams in the NFL since Week 11 of 2018 according to Chiefs Reporter Matt McMullen. That’s back when Lamar Jackson first became the starter for the Ravens. If you include both regular season and postseason wins, Baltimore has a 22-5 record during that span, while Kansas City has a 21-8 record. The Chiefs played the Ravens twice in that span and won both times.
Of course, Patrick Mahomes won the league MVP award in 2018 and Jackson won the league MVP award in 2019. Combine that with the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LIV win and it’s not that big of a shock to find that these two teams have won so many games since 2018. The next closest would be the New England Patriots, who have 20 wins.
Looking ahead to the battle of the MVPs on Monday night, since Lamar Jackson became the Ravens' starter in Week 11 of the 2018 season, Kansas City and Baltimore own the top two records in the NFL (playoffs included).
The Chiefs are the only team to beat Jackson twice.

Currently, the Ravens and Chiefs also have the two longest active regular-season win streaks in the NFL. Two teams with such win streaks haven’t met in the NFL since 1969 when the Los Angeles Rams hosted the Minnesota Vikings according to ESPN’s Field Yates.
The Ravens have won 14 straight regular season games and the Chiefs have won 8 straight, the two longest active win streaks in the NFL. The last time two teams met on 8+ game win streaks was 1969, when the Rams (11) hosted the Vikings (10).
Can't wait for Monday Night Football.

If you go back to the Chiefs’ recent postseason victories they’ve won 11 consecutive games, which marks the longest active streak of consecutive wins in the NFL.
At least one win streak comes to an end on “Monday Night Football” and there’s always a chance that both do if they to finish in a tie game. It might be a bit anticlimactic, but it’d also be a little poetic.
