Chiefs vs. Falcons: Five Things to Watch

The Kansas City Chiefs (8-3) travel to take on the Atlanta Falcons (7-4) on Sunday in a game with playoff implications for both teams.

The Falcons currently lead a fairly tight NFC South division with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-5), New Orleans Saints (5-6) and Carolina Panthers (4-7) all within striking distance with just five regular-season games left to play.

The Chiefs, who have won 19 of their last 23 games, trail the division-leading Oakland Raiders (9-2) by just one game.

The Chiefs host the Raiders next Thursday at Arrowhead Stadium on a short week, but there’s no time to look ahead, as there’s plenty on the line for the Chiefs on Sunday, including guaranteeing a fourth straight winning season to begin the Andy Reid era in Kansas City.
