For the NFL’s Week 3, the (2-0) Kansas City Chiefs are on the first road trip of their 2024 season, traveling to Mercedes-Benz Stadium to face the (1-1) Atlanta Falcons on “Sunday Night Football.” Kickoff is set for 7:20 p.m. Arrowhead Time. The game will be carried locally on KSHB/41.
These two teams are meeting for just the 11th time since the AFL was merged into the NFL in 1970. But if things had played out differently, they could now have a shared AFL heritage. Rankin Smith founded the Falcons in 1965, hoping to join the fledgling league.
