Kansas City Chiefs’ rising pass rusher George Karlaftis has just pulled back the curtain on what may be the toughest challenge of his NFL career: facing Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. In a candid and jaw-dropping interview, Karlaftis didn’t hold back. “He was not just a star – Lamar Jackson was a nightmare on the field,” Karlaftis admitted. “He forced us to reconsider every strategy, every plan, and every single move we made out there.”

Jackson, known for his lightning-fast agility and uncanny playmaking, has long been a thorn in the side of every defense. But according to Karlaftis, this time it felt different. “You can’t just rush him or drop into coverage like you normally would. Everything you think will work… it doesn’t. You’re constantly second-guessing yourself.”

Even the coaching staff had to scramble. Karlaftis hinted that the team spent hours reviewing film and redesigning defensive schemes just to keep Jackson contained. The battle on the field is intense, and for Chiefs fans, every snap could be the difference between victory and a humiliating collapse.
