Can you elaborate on what the Falcons did so well against the Chiefs, i didnt see anything except the ending of the game.

Agree with the first point.
The Falcons did a couple of things really well:
1) Grady Jarrett played a GREAT game and created a lot of pressure inside
2) They were incredibly disciplined and executed really well. I don't think KC had its best gameplan against Atlanta... the Falcons were creating pressure and doing a good job bracketing longer, slower-developing routes, and KC didn't adjust. They also exposed a tendency of Mahomes - rushing their DEs straight up the field, unconventionally, to try to cut Mahomes off when he tried to bail from the pocket. This worked really well.
I think Bob Sutton, who is a consultant for the Falcons, helped them prep a REALLY good gameplan that they then executed at an extremely high level.
KC didn't adjust well, either. Not enough short routes, though some of that may have been keeping new tricks and concepts in the bag for the playoffs.
