***Chiefs @ Falcons: Official Week 3 Game Day Thread***

4. Blitzing Kirk Cousins

The Chiefs’ pass rush should have a much more straightforward job in Week 3. Unlike the first two quarterbacks the defense has faced, Kirk Cousins is a disciplined pocket passer — especially as he deals with reduced mobility from an Achilles injury. He is determined to get the ball out from a certain position at a certain time. Kansas City will have to disrupt that rhythm.

It won’t be easy. The Falcons’ offensive line is a strong unit that has allowed only three sacks this season. At the same time, the offense faces pressure on 36% of its dropbacks — the league’s ninth-highest rate. Cousins has only two interceptions this season — and both came under pressure.

This is why the Chiefs may manufacture pressure with blitzes even more often than usual. For those to get home, the defense will need lockdown coverage from cornerback Trent McDuffie and others. If Kansas City can take away Cousins’ primary reads, he will be more vulnerable than quarterbacks who can extend the play themselves.

5. Patrick Mahomes’ blind side

The above picture represents the Chiefs’ plan for left tackle on Sunday: head coach Andy Reid said rookie Kingsley Suamataia and second-year offensive tackle Wanya Morris “will both have an opportunity to get in there this game.”

That comes after Suamataia was benched late in the Week 2 win. He allowed two sacks and one quarterback hit against the Bengals, and was called for two penalties. Morris replaced him, and drew a crucial penalty himself.

Each will have a challenge playing in a road environment, but also facing veteran edge rusher Matthew Judon. He has gotten in on a sack in each game this season.

There are, but unfortunately the new forum only allows me to post one link at a time.
If you’re in the USA, the game is available over the air on your local NBC affiliate.
Here is one link that is reliable:

Normally the Falcons wouldn’t worry me at all, but I’m a little nervous about tonight’s game. The Chiefs just barely won their first 2 games on last second plays and the absence of Pacheco is going to affect their running game which will affect their ability to pass. Steele looked great against 3rd stringers in preseason, but to-so-much in the regular season so far.
Hopefully, Mahomes and Kelce can step it up tonight.

Go Chiefs

[matthewschiefs]

Lets go D! Set the tone

[Chiefs4life24]

Roy we dominated the 1st 2 games of the year and Steele is gonna have a career night tonight

[TopekaRoy]

Kirk is a great QB, but I expect better from our pass defense.

[TopekaRoy]

Wide Open!

[matthewschiefs]

And the weekly slow start. Why do we always have to make it hard

[TopekaRoy]

Chiefs are off to their usual slow start.
