The Falcons’ return to Sunday Night Football couldn’t have started better. The offense started with an impressive drive against the Chiefs, capped off with a touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins to Drake London.
Atlanta’s defense matched the Chiefs’ energy on the offensive’s opening drive. Safety Justin Simmons threw his sixth career interception against Patrick Mahomes to stop Kansas City in the red zone – an NFL record. Watch Simmons’ interception below, as shared on the team’s Twitter account.
