The Atlanta Falcons have the Kansas City Chiefs offense exactly where they want it Football on Sunday eveningHowever, the defending champions limited the score to one point by halftime.

With Kansas City about to kick off the second half, the Chiefs relied on the heroics of sophomore defensive back Chamarri Conner to cut into their deficit late in the second quarter.

When Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins ​​​​came under pressure in the pocket during a two-minute drill in the first half, he threw an easily interceptable ball in Conners’ direction.

The second-year defender took advantage of his opportunity to make a play, grabbed the ball and passed it to fellow defender Jaylen Watson, who was able to gain a few additional yards on the return.

Kansas City had to settle for a field goal by Harrison Butker on its next drive.

Stay tuned to see if the Chiefs can stage a second-half comeback in Week 3 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
