ATLANTA — A win this week over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football has set up a second straight prime time game that may be one of the most significant the Falcons have played in years.
And, yes, it could possibly take place with Taylor Swift in the audience.
The Falcons will host the Chiefs at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Atlanta will have the chance to prove their win over the Eagles was no fluke -- or perhaps come back down to earth where their Week 1 loss at the Benz to Pittsburgh left them.

Getting there
You can check on parking at this link. Current rates show availability between $23-$30 at the lower ends.
MARTA also drops you right at the stadium on the green and blue lines.
Thinking of a rideshare? Do so with the foreknowledge that the demand is extremely high after a game and the Falcons note fans usually are "significantly delayed in being able to get a rideshare vehicle to pick them up due to the volume of fans all trying to get a driver at the same time."
The team calls rideshares after the game the most difficult option for fans departing the stadium.
Free food!
The Falcons are providing two free hot dogs, a chips and a Coca-Cola drinks to fans in special honor of Arthur M. Blank being inducted into the Atlanta Falcons Ring of Honor. There will also be a special edition souvenir cup given away, and an in-seat giveaway with Dirty Birds flags.
