The Baltimore Ravens were just inches away from having a chance to win in their season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. Tensions were at an all-time high throughout the matchup as it was Baltimore’s chance to get their revenge from last season’s AFC Championship loss. While the team came up just short, the Ravens’ future looks bright with superstars like Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, as well as emerging young talent from Isaiah Likely.
Baltimore Ravens Star Curses Out Chiefs Fan
While it was a hard-fought game, Baltimore seems to be taking this loss very harshly, so much so that the star tight end Likely cursed at a Chiefs fan while leaving the field after the game was over.

Ravens Feel ‘Cheated’
The vibe in the Ravens locker room seems to be that the Chiefs had an unfair advantage in the game because of the controversial penalties called on them from the jump. Even head coach John Harbaugh was not happy with the officiating, saying “It’s not being called both ways!”
NFL Fans React
From the team’s social media page leaving up the “touchdown catch” even after it was overruled, to Jackson and the rest of the team saying that it was indeed a touchdown, Baltimore seems to be taking this loss to heart. Here are some of the fan reactions to the video of Likely cursing at a fan:
Well that's not very nice. Lol

It seems the NFL world had mixed reactions to the tight end’s comments, with some on his side saying that the fan probably deserved it, and others saying that the comment was out of line and he will “Likely” get fined.
What are your thoughts on the opening-night thriller, and do you think Likely was out of line with what he said to the fan?
