Zay Flowers taunted Chiefs’ L’Jarius Sneed, whose revenge was forcing a back-breaking goal line fumble

For most of Sunday’s AFC title game, the Kansas City Chiefs had the Baltimore Ravens’ offense locked up. But at the start of the fourth quarter, Lamar Jackson and Zay Flowers finally found room to make some plays.

After scoring the only points of the game for Baltimore early on, Flowers would burn Kansas City’s No. 1 corner, L’Jarius Sneed, for a key 50-yard bomb that should’ve set up the Ravens in the red zone. There was just one problem.

Flowers hit the taunting trifecta of standing over Sneed, pushing him, and throwing the ball at him. He would be deservedly fined 15 yards for the sequence:

Fortunately for Flowers, he’d almost make up for it by catching a short screen, then taking a crossing route into the end zone … except the latter didn’t actually happen.

When Flowers started reaching the ball across the goal line, Sneed punched it out at the perfect time for a Kansas City fumble recovery. Instead of a Ravens touchdown or even a field goal, Baltimore came up empty while trying to rally. Talk about getting timely revenge in a clutch moment:

After this brutal mistake, there was still plenty of time left on the clock, but it sure felt like the beginning of the end for Baltimore. And it’s all thanks to Sneed for maintaining his composure after Flowers tried to rub salt in the wound about a deep completion.

NFL fans were in awe of Sneed's timely fumble punch on Flowers
