LIVE: Follow Chiefs vs. Falcons updates from 'Sunday Night Football'

The Chiefs are 2-0 after defeating the Ravens and Bengals, but both of those games came down to the final play. The road ahead will only get tougher for Kansas City with the loss of running back Isiah Pacheco, who suffered a fractured fibula in the Week 2 win over Cincinnati.

The Falcons, meanwhile, are coming off their first win of the season, a come-from-behind victory over the Eagles. Atlanta's offensive unit struggled to get the ball into the end zone throughout the game, but Cousins led a six-play, 70-yard drive late in the fourth quarter to stun the Philly faithful.
