KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The second-half collapse by the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday prevented the Kansas City Chiefs from extending their streak of regular-season wins over the eventual Super Bowl champion to three.
The Chiefs, who won 29-28 over the Falcons in Atlanta in December, beat the Super Bowl champions (New England Patriots and Denver Broncos) during the regular season the two previous years.
In fact, the Chiefs are 4-1 over the past three seasons against teams that wound up playing in the Super Bowl. They beat the Patriots and Seattle Seahawks in 2014, split their two games with the Broncos the next season and then added the win over the Falcons two months ago.
