The Atlanta Falcons (1-1) are alive again following Monday night’s stunning comeback win over the Philadelphia Eagles (1-1). Next up, the team has a Sunday night showdown against Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs (2-0).
The Chiefs are 3.5-point favorites entering Week 3 but haven’t looked as dominant as previous years. For the Falcons to have a chance, the offense will have to play like it did in the second half against the Eagles. Quarterback Kirk Cousins finally started to resemble himself on the team’s 70-yard game-winning drive.
Thus far in 2024, Cousins has passed for 396 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions for a passer rating of 89.7. Mahomes has passed 442 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions for a passer rating of 91.9. Both quarterbacks have yet to play their best football this season, making for an interesting matchup on Sunday night.
