In some ways the play, when operating again Bijan Robinson ran to this left and misplaced three yards below strain from Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton, was a microcosm of Atlanta’s irritating offensive night time. Atlanta, which is now 1-2, ran solely 56 performs and gained solely 3.3 yards per carry. 

This fourth quarter has had so many “nearly” moments. Almost a punt over the pinnacle of Chiefs punter Matt Araiza. Almost a fumbled punt return. Almost a bobbled reception. And this 15-play drive by the Falcons ends with two extra “nearly” performs — an incompletion on third-and-5 from the 6-yard line to Kyle Pitts that caromed off his arms and a defender, adopted by an incompletion in the long run zone to Drake London on fourth-and-5.

As an alternative of scoring what would have been a go-ahead landing or taking a area purpose and pulling inside two factors of Kansas Metropolis, the Falcons wind up with nothing to point out for his or her 83-yard drive.

Even whereas taking a forearm to his facemask, Patrick Mahomes is ready to tie this sport by ending one more lengthy Chiefs drive with a landing. His 13-yard cross to Rashee Rice ties it at 7-7 after a 13-play drive.

It’s solely the primary quarter, however Atlanta’s incapacity to show its interception of Mahomes into factors feels prefer it may very well be important for the Falcons, who had the ball for under 5 performs earlier than punting again to Kansas Metropolis.
