Head coach Andy Reid has genuinely transformed the Chiefs into a strong attacking unit over the last two seasons. They are in line to make another Super Bowl appearance if they keep playing the way they are right now. With Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill and others firing on all cylinders, the Chiefs are arguably the toughest team in the league at the moment.
But coach Reid will be without his rookie RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire this weekend. He is dealing with a knee injury and will be on the sidelines for an extended spell. WR Tyreek Hill and DL Frank Clark are also listed as ‘questionable’ for Sunday’s game at the Arrowhead Stadium.

Honestly, it’s been a season to forget for the Atlanta Falcons and their massive fanbase (including Stephen A. Smith). The NFC South big boys are third in their division and are officially eliminated from playoff contention. WR Julio Jones is still out with a hamstring injury. CB Darqueze Dennard and C Alex Mack are also out of contention to feature on Sunday with fitness issues.
The Falcons will have to dig deep for motivation to go up against the ruthless Kansas City Chiefs. They will need a powerhouse defensive display to stop Mahomes and Co. from wreaking havoc in Missouri.

Needless to say, this fixture should be an absolute cakewalk for the Chiefs who must already be preparing for the post-season. They will be tempted to rest some of their big names against the Falcons.
