<p>A pair of field goals is all the offense so far in this battle between the Chiefs and Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium. </p> <p>It's been a war of attrition in the first half between the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.arrowheadpride.com/">Kansas City Chiefs</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/">Baltimore Ravens</a>, who find themselves tied, 3-3, after two quarters of play at Arrowhead Stadium.</p>
<p>Neither offense could muster more than a field goal after <span>Justin Tucker</span> was set up to hit a 28-yard shot toward the end of the first quarter after a <span>Matt Cassel</span> fumble. Kansas City's Ryan Succop put the lone points on the board for the Chiefs after a 13-play, 53-yard drive ended in a 30-yard field goal in second quarter. That's been it for offense.</p>
<p>Matt Cassel has had a first half to forget after losing a fumble, throwing an interception and going 5-for-7 for 37 yards. <span>Jamaal Charles</span> is having a great day so far, though, carrying the ball 20 times for 125 yards in the first half alone, while <span>Shaun Draughn</span> has 10 carries for 36 yards.</p>
<p>As for the Ravens, <span>Joe Flacco</span> couldn't get much going either, finishing the half 7-for-17 for 64 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions. <span>Ray Rice</span> has seven carries for 52 yards so far on Sunday.</p>

<p>After a series of punts, a Matt Cassel fumble led to an early lead for the Ravens. </p> <p>After a quarter of play between the Kansas City <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.arrowheadpride.com/">Chiefs</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/">Baltimore Ravens</a>, John Harbaugh's squad owns the early 3-0 lead Arrowhead Stadium with both defenses showing their teeth early on in this match up.</p>
<p>Kansas City went three-and-out in their first possession of the game, while Baltimore didn't fare much better with a punt on their first drive as well. Both teams would punt on their subsequent possessions, though <span>Matt Cassel</span> would fumble on the Chiefs next drive. That set the Ravens up for the lone points of the quarter with 6-play 32-yard drive capped off by a 28-yard field goal from kicker <span>Justin Tucker</span> to make it 3-0 Baltimore.</p>
<p>Through one quarter Cassel is 2-2 for 12 yards through the air, while <span>Jamaal Charles</span> already has 10 carries for 82 yards on the game.</p>
<p>Ravens quarterback <span>Joe Flacco</span> is 3-7 for 14 yards so far, while <span>Ray Rice</span> has 49 yards on just five carries today.</p>

<p>After a tightly fought first half between the Kansas State Wildcats and the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/george-washington-colonials">George Washington Colonials</a> at Fred Bramlage Coliseum Thursday night, K-State extended their lead early in the second half for good, eventually dropping G.W. by the score of 69-56 to remain undefeated on the year thus far. </p>
<p>Freshman <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/145563/thomas-gipson">Thomas Gipson</a> led all scorers with 17 on the night, as well as 13 boards on his way to an impressive double-double, finishing 6-11 from the floor and 5-7 from the stripe. Sophomore <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/123753/will-spradling">Will Spradling</a> added 14 and four boards, while senior <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/31336/jamar-samuels">Jamar Samuels</a> finished with a double-double as well with 10 points and 10 rebounds. As a whole the Wildcats shot a meager 37% from the floor, though they out rebounded the Colonials by a margin of +14, including some staunch defense throughout the night. </p>
<p>Senior guard <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/52270/tony-taylor">Tony Taylor</a> was the only player for George Washington in double figures, finishing with 14 points and four assists on the night. As a team G.W. shot only 31% from the floor, and a disheartening 11-21 from the line, a large factor in their loss this evening. </p>
<p>K-State now must turn their attention to a meeting with the Virginia Tech Hokies on Sunday in Blacksburg, with tip-off scheduled for 5:30 p.m. ET. </p>
