Bettor cashes $1M wager after wild Chiefs-Falcons finish

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts (8) misses the catch against Kansas City Chiefs safety Bry ...

The two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs are the closest thing to a guarantee in an upset-filled NFL season — but not without a sweat.

A bettor at Caesars Palace on Sunday cashed a $1 million wager to win $571,000 on the Chiefs on the money line (-175) over the Falcons.

The gambler won after Atlanta twice turned the ball over on downs deep in Kansas City territory in the final minutes of a 22-17 loss.

First, the Falcons reached the Kansas City 6 before an incompletion on fourth down with 4:06 to play.

Then, Atlanta got the ball back and drove to the Kansas City 13 before being stuffed on fourth-and-1 with 51 seconds remaining.

The Chiefs improved to 3-0 (2-1 against the spread) on the young season, while the Falcons fell to 1-2 (1-2).
