Game Preview
Patrick Mahomes has led the Kansas City Chiefs to back-to-back Super Bowl victories and two thrilling last-minute wins to start the current season.
His confidence on the field is unmistakable.
This week, he faces Kirk Cousins, a quarterback who’s feeling increasingly self-assured with the Atlanta Falcons.
Cousins orchestrated a remarkable 70-yard drive in the final two minutes to secure a stunning road win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night, showcasing why he’s worth the four-year, $180 million contract he signed in free agency.
“It’s crucial to find ways to win,” Cousins stated. “That’s how you build a successful season. In games that could go either way, finding a way to have things fall in your favor is key. The league works that way, and those small margins can change the entire narrative of the season.”
Atlanta (1-1) aims to carry that momentum forward when they host the defending champions in another prime-time matchup this Sunday night.
“You want to be in these big moments and high-stakes games,” said first-year Falcons coach Raheem Morris, whose team is trying to end a six-year playoff drought since their last appearance in 2017.
The Chiefs (2-0) have certainly experienced their fair share of high-pressure games during Mahomes’ tenure.
While the Falcons have been watching from home, Kansas City has claimed three Super Bowl titles, made another Super Bowl appearance, and reached the AFC Championship game twice in the last six years.
The Chiefs are off to a strong start in their pursuit of becoming the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls, although their performance has not been flawless.
In reality, they are just two plays away from being 0-2, with Mahomes acknowledging that his performance hasn’t met expectations. He’s averaging only 221 passing yards per game, along with three touchdowns and three interceptions.
