Week 15: Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Atlanta Falcons

The NFC has little to no effect on the Kansas City Chiefs, but between the positioning of this matchup on the map and an appearance of Tom Brady late in the season, this game becomes vital to the Chiefs organization.

The Falcons travel to Kansas City in Week 16, just one week removed from their first matchup with Brady and the Bucs, and one week before their second meetup with Tampa Bay. The Falcons are likely already looking past the Chiefs’ matchup, due to the divisional scheduling they have been cursed with. Even if they do not, the Chiefs will get to watch how the Falcons prepare for a contender one week before they are the contender that the Falcons are playing.

The Chiefs also get to look at Tom Brady in this matchup. If Brady is at peak level at this point, the Chiefs could start studying and preparing for at matchup against him in February. If he is not at peak level, well studying film of the GOAT is never a bad idea.
