The Atlanta Falcons kick off Week 3 against an AFC opponent they have sparsely faced in the past, especially when considering that each franchise is over 55 years old. Overall, Atlanta and Kansas City have played head to head a total of 10 times, with the Chiefs owning a 7-3 lead in the all-time series.
The first matchup did not take place until Atlanta’s seventh year of existence, in 1972, and it was a narrow 17-14 Chiefs victory. The next three matchups all went KC’s way, but none were as close, with the Falcons losing by double digits each time.
