Week 16: @ Kansas City Chiefs
The defending Super Bowl champions host the Falcons in Week 16 during what is sure to be a tough final stretch. Kansas City’s offense is nearly unstoppable, as evident by the two games the team overcame double-digit deficits in last year’s playoffs. Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback in the league, and doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon while playing in Andy Reid’s system.
This game isn’t just about seeing how Atlanta can stack up against the best team in the NFL, though. The Falcons have a easy early-season schedule, but their final three games are extremely tough and could be the difference in making or missing the playoffs this season.
