Chiefs vs. Falcons live updates: Sunday Night Football sees a Patrick Mahomes-Kirk Cousins clash in Atlanta

If Week 3’s Sunday Night Football matchup is anything like the Chiefs’ or Falcons’ Week 2 games, it will be must-see TV. Kansas City got a Harrison Butker field goal as time expired to beat Cincinnati 26-25 after their final drive stayed alive on a 4th-and-16 pass interference penalty. While K.C. got the win, it lost running back Isiah Pacheco for about half the season with a broken leg. Clyde Edwards-Helaire remains on the PUP list, so Samaje Perine and Carson Steele are in line to get the reps in the Chiefs backfield.

The Falcons are coming off a thrilling Monday Night Football win over the Eagles, in which a Jessie Bates III interception in the final minute sealed the deal after Kirk Cousins led the Falcons on a six-play, 70-yard drive in the two-minute drill for the go-ahead touchdown. Atlanta will now host Sunday Night Football for the first time since Week 1 of the 2019 season — coincidentally, a win over the Eagles.

Live16 updates

  • Butker connects from 53 to get K.C. within four

    Kansas City’s third drive of the night stalls, and Butker gets on the board with three. Under three minutes to go in the first half and the Falcons lead 14-10.

  • Rashee Rice is having a huge first half

    Rice already has seven receptions for 62 yards with just over three minutes to go in the first half.

  • Bijan Robinson finishes it off for the Falcons who lead 14-7

  • Kyle Pitts picks up 50 for ATL

    How’s that for a shot in the arm after a penalty?

  • Chris Jones flagged for roughing the passer keeps Falcons drive alive

    The 15-yard penalty came on a 3rd and 6 where Kirk Cousins tried to hit Drake London, but the pass fell incomplete. The Falcons offense hasn’t been able to maintain the same rhythm as it had on the first drive of the game, but this penalty and first down could be a shot in the arm.

  • Mahomes to Rice for a Chiefs touchdown

    Another long Chiefs drive, this one goes for a score. Rice hauls in his second touchdown pass of the year. The Chiefs have had the ball for more than 14 minutes to just over 6:30 for the Falcons.

  • Falcons drive stalls after one first down following interception

    Bijan Robinson picked up that first down with a seven-yard run and five-yard run, and the Atlanta punt ends the first quarter. Atlanta’s drive to open the game was an early haymaker, and while Kansas City did turn the ball over in the red zone, the Chiefs’ first drive of the night was the definition of s sustained march, taking 17 plays and more than eight minutes off the clock

  • Justin Simmons intercepts Mahomes in the Endzone

    Its the fourth straight game Justin Simmons has played in against the Chiefs where he’s intercepted Mahomes. Simmons spent the first eight years of his career with the Denver Broncos, in the AFC Wes That was the 17th (SEVENTEEN!) play of Kansas City’s opening drive that comes up empty.

  • Chiefs pick up another first down on first drive

    Kansas City has been moving the ball through the air. Mahomes has been sharp and the Chiefs have rotated in both Carson Steele and Samaje Perine in the backfield.

  • Kirk Cousins lit up the Chiefs on the opening drive for a Falcons touchdown

    Cousins was 5/5 for 66 yards, and it looked easy for the Falcons, marching down the field to grab the early lead on a Drake London touchdown catch.

  • Falcons owner Arthur Blank will go into the team’s Ring of Honor tonight

    As part of the celebrations, the Falcons are offering free soda, chips and hot dogs at Mercedes-Benz Stadium tonight. And if there are going to be free hot dogs, who better to have in the building than the Hot Dog king, Joey Chestnut.

  • The roof is open tonight in Atlanta

    Warm and nice weather expected tonight in Atlanta and the roof will be open for Sunday Night Football
