First Quarter

Quarterback Kirk Cousins came out on top by spearheading a seven-play, 70-yard drive that ended in a 14-yard scoring strike to Drake London. It was Atlanta's first first-quarter touchdown this season. The Chiefs responded with a ridiculously long 17-play drive, but Falcons safety Justin Simmons really stuffed them with an end zone interception that cut off the would-be score.

Second Quarter

Kansas City quickly answered to tie the game, using a 13-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes to Rashee Rice, which demonstrates their third-down proficiency. Atlanta responded quickly with a five-play, 70-yard march, as it featured a 50-yard reception for Kyle Pitts. The sprint ended with a 1-yard touchdown run by Bijan Robinson. Injuries knifed into the hearts of the Falcons team, though - right tackle Kaleb McGary and centre Drew Dalman left the game. The Chiefs capitalized on these disadvantageous blows by kicking two field goals to take the half, 14-13 in favor of Atlanta.

Halftime: Falcons 14, Chiefs 13

Third Quarter

Injuries were still impacting the Falcons as Kansas City drove the field again and took the lead with a 21-yard field goal. They increased that lead shortly when JuJu Smith-Schuster caught a 13-yard touchdown pass and provided them with a 22-14 lead.

End of Third Quarter: Chiefs 22, Falcons 14

Fourth Quarter

The Falcons responded with a 54-yard Younghoe Koo field goal cutting their deficit to five. Then Atlanta forced the Chiefs into a speedy three-and-out and behind a pretty 83-yard drive stalled on a decisive fourth down at the Chiefs' 6-yard line to seal their fate.

FINAL: Chiefs 22, Falcons 17

The exchange of jerseys between Bijan Robinson and Isiah Pacheco showed mutual respect and camaraderie after the game.
