After a lackluster first preseason game, the Chiefs game we saw last night was a breath of fresh air. Atlanta’s starters did terrific work, scoring on the first drive, shutting down Kansas CIty on their first drive, and generally playing well and staying healthy. If I sound upbeat about that, it’s because we really didn’t need to see much else from Atlanta.
Matt Ryan threw crisp passes and moved well in the pocket, Calvin Ridley looked great on a night where Julio Jones was on the sideline, and Tevin Coleman ran well behind an offensive line that blocked well.
