The Atlanta Falcons left a strong impression on Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
"That's a good football team," Mahomes said postgame. "I expect them to get better and better because whenever you bring a lot of different pieces in, it takes a little bit to get it going throughout the season.completed 26-of-39 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns
But Atlanta's defense rose to the occasion when needed most. Kansas City failed to score in the fourth quarter and mustered only three net yards on nine plays. The Chiefs did not pick up a first down over the final 15 minutes. Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice, who had a game-high 12 catches for 110 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets, noted Atlanta largely stayed away from man coverage.
Atlanta held Kansas City to just 4.8 yards per play, but the Chiefs ran for 128 yards and ultimately scored enough points to win -- and to Falcons coach Raheem Morris, the bottom line says more than any other number ever could.
