Cleveland Browns: Five games to watch during the bye week

2. Chiefs at Falcons

The playoff picture is beginning to take shape, but there are many spots yet to be secured. There are two teams involved in tight races that also don’t see each other a whole lot, with those being Kansas City and Atlanta. This is what makes Sunday’s 1 p.m. matchup in the Georgia Dome so captivating for any football fan.

It is two similar yet very different styles going head-to-head. Atlanta’s passing offense has excelled, as has Kansas City’s secondary. With two very poised football teams, this one should go down to the wire.

The playoff implications couldn’t get much better for a game with teams representing both conferences. The Chiefs currently sit in an AFC Wild Card spot, but are on the cusp of losing it to either the Broncos or a hot Dolphins team. The Chiefs cannot afford a slip up.

The same goes for the Falcons, as they sit just a game ahead of Tampa Bay in the NFC South. Knowing that the Wild Card most likely won’t be an option for the runner-up in this race, it is critical for the Falcons to stay a step ahead.

Not to mention, Cleveland fans would be interested in seeing if Taylor Gabriel‘s success continues. Formerly with the Browns, the young speedster is having the year of his career in Atlanta.

The game is on CBS, but not locally. For fans who do have the ability to see every game though, they will not regret checking this one out.
