The Atlanta Falcons are gearing up to face the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium this Sunday night. Both teams are coming off narrow victories in Week 2, setting the stage for an exciting face-off on the field.

The Kansas City Chiefs secured a one-point victory against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoon, extending their unbeaten record to 2-0. Meanwhile, the Falcons clinched a thrilling 22-21 win against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football, bringing their record to 1-1.

Despite the short turnaround from Monday's game, the Falcons wasted no time in releasing their official depth chart on Tuesday. The only notable change was the removal of inside linebacker Nate Landman, who was placed on the injured reserve with a calf/quad injury. Stepping up in his place is cornerback Kevin King, who was signed from the practice squad to the active roster.

The Falcons, led by quarterback Matt Ryan, will be looking to build upon their recent victory and continue their momentum against a tough Chiefs team. Ryan will have a talented receiving corps featuring Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley to rely on, while the running game will be commanded by running back Todd Gurley.

On the other side of the field, the Chiefs will be led by the dynamic duo of quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce. With a potent offense that can strike from any position, the Falcons defense, featuring standout cornerback A.J. Terrell, will have their hands full trying to shut down their opponents.

The matchup between the Falcons and the Chiefs promises to be an electrifying contest, with two high-powered offenses going head-to-head. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and football fans can expect a thrilling showdown between the reigning Super Bowl champions and the Falcons.
