Who are the announcers and referees for Chiefs vs. Falcons today?
Another week, another Kansas City Chiefs primetime game. The Chiefs will hit the road for the first time this season and their first road tilt will be against the 1-1 Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football.
The Chiefs are a toe and a defensive pass interference call away from being 0-2 but luck was on their side so they're 2-0. There are certainly ways the Chiefs could be better down the stretch but they use these earlier games to figure out their flaws and to improve at those.
The Falcons meanwhile are 1-1 after losing to the Steelers in Week 1 despite not surrendering a touchdown and then narrowly defeating the Eagles on Monday Night Football in Week 2. Both of these teams have had the primetime spotlight on them already this season so it's Round 2 for each side. Who will prevail?
