Here’s everything you need to know about the Falcons vs. Chiefs in Week 16.

When the Atlanta Falcons visit the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 16 at Arrowhead Stadium, it’s not going to be the sort of pivotal matchup that Falcons fans were likely hoping for entering the regular season. Still, the likely expectations for everyone was that the game could feature an offensive shootout, and that is still very much in play as the teams get set for kickoff on Sunday afternoon.

Julio Jones is unfortunately out for the Falcons, but Matt Ryan still has Calvin Ridley as his primary target and the Falcons quarterback will likely be pressured to pass early and often in order to keep up with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ impressive array of weapons. Ryan certainly has the arm to air it out, which means it’s possible we might see some real fireworks.

As for the final results, no one is expecting the Falcons to put up much of a real fight as these are two franchises headed in different directions. The Chiefs are running it back in hopes of a second straight Super Bowl win. The Falcons, meanwhile, are knee-deep in a head coaching search after firing Dan Quinn earlier this year.

As the Falcons hope to play the role of spoiler and earn some late-season pride, the Chiefs will hope to stave them off and clinch the top seed in the AFC with a win.
