The Kansas Chiefs stayed unbeaten after a tight 22-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night.
While the Falcons led for the majority of the very first half, the Chiefs stayed within striking range before taking the lead on the very first drive of the 2nd half thanks to a basket from Harrison Butker. Kansas City then made it a 22-14 lead on a goal pass from Patrick Mahomes to JuJu Smith-Schuster.
Atlanta cut into the lead with a basket early in the 4th, however that would be its last points of the video game. Kirk Cousins led the Falcons down the field in an effort at a game-winning drive, however a doubtful contact 4th and brief indicated Atlanta turned it over on downs to seal the video game for the Chiefs.

After losing on the important 4th down, fans were dissatisfied with head coach Raheem Morris, offending organizer Zac Robinson and Atlanta’s training personnel.

If you’re dealing with a 4th-and-1 and you call a run play that runs towards the sideline, you are not gotten approved for being a head coach in the NFL.
Sam Wagman @swagman95
The Chiefs are locking down the running video game all night long and Zac Robinson calls a run play on 4th and video game?<< br><> < br>> The Falcons are a continuing joke of an org male

Excellent task, Falcons. That may have been among the dumbest plays of the day. Fourth & 1, video game on the line, and you call a stretch run play rather of going directly up the middle? Why?
Robert Griffin III @RGIII
Fourth and inches and you run side methods ?!?)? << br>> Come on guy. QB slip it or diminish hill.
Steve Wyche @wyche89
Guy, if Cousins can’t slip it, put Allgeier or Bijan in a wildcat and streamline things. What a bad play call

Falcons ran off-tackle to a side where there were more protectors than blockers. << a href="https://t.co/FeMRMJJTDh">> pic.twitter.com/FeMRMJJTDh

Falcons lost 2 offending linemen and chose to run all the method to Peachtree City on 4th and inches
Hardcore Doughty @calstanvard
Chiefs do whatever possible to let the Falcons win however Atlanta calls the dumbest play on 4th and inches with the video game on the line. They call a sweep to the outdoors with their sluggish lumbering RB rather of among the most athletic human beings on world earth. Falcons are worthy of to lose.
