The Kansas City Chiefs secured a close 22-17 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night, thanks to strong defensive plays. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes acknowledged he needs to improve but was pleased that the Chiefs are still unbeaten at 3-0.
Mahomes threw for 217 yards and two touchdown passes, despite throwing an interception. The Chiefs' defense made crucial stops on Atlanta's final two offensive plays, preventing the Falcons from scoring.
With under a minute left, Falcons running back Bijan Robinson was tackled behind the line on a critical fourth down. Linebacker Nick Bolton said he anticipated the play, which helped secure the win.
Atlanta started strong, scoring quickly on their first drive, but struggled later, especially after losing two offensive linemen to injuries. Quarterback Kirk Cousins had a solid performance with 230 passing yards but noted that the team missed several chances.
The Chiefs took the lead in the second half and held on for the win. Mahomes praised his teammates and expressed confidence that they will continue to improve as the season progresses.
Next week, the Chiefs will face the Los Angeles Chargers, while the Falcons will host the New Orleans Saints.
