The Kansas City Chiefs will aim to earn their seventh win of the 2026 NFL regular season when they face the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium this afternoon.
With superstar running back Kenneth Walker officially ruled out for this week's interconference showdown, the Chiefs could face an uphill battle against the struggling Falcons.
Expect a hotly contested matchup in this game, which could be among the most exciting tilts on the NFL's Week 10 slate.
Here's everything fans need to know to watch Kansas City face off against Atlanta today:
The Kansas City Chiefs may be facing an upset this week, with the 3-6 Atlanta Falcons looking to play spoiler at home.
The Chiefs lost arguably their best offensive weapon this week after running back Kenneth Walker was officially ruled out of Sunday's matchup with a groin injury, but running back Emmett Johnson should have no problem holding down the fort. Wide receiver Josh Downs is making his debut with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and company and will likely be a central part of head coach Andy Reid's offensive strategy in Week 10.
It took nine games, but Kansas City's defense finally broke through last week after holding the New York Jets to just 12 points. This week, the Chiefs' front seven will need to turn its attention to running back Bijan Robinson, who currently leads the league in rushing yards. Robinson is having an MVP-caliber season, and stopping the All-Pro will be no easy task. This game will be much closer than expected.
