Patrick Mahomes, Nick Bolton help 3-0 Chiefs stop Falcons

Sept. 23 (UPI) -- Linebacker Nick Bolton shot through a gap and stopped Bijan Robinson in the backfield on fourth down, halting an Atlanta Falcons drive in the red zone and sealing a comeback victory for the 3-0 Kansas City Chiefs.

Bolton's key stop came with just 51 seconds remaining in the 22-17 win Sunday in Atlanta. The fourth-year defender totaled eight tackles, including three for a loss. The Chiefs trailed 14-7 midway through the second quarter, but reeled off 15-consecutive points to snatch momentum from the Falcons' talons.
