Acting legend Samuel L. Jackson will cheer on his beloved Atlanta Falcons against the Kansas City Chiefs tonight.
Jackson, a longtime Falcons fan, will be on hand at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the team’s showdown with the back-to-back Super Bowl champions.
He’ll be hoping Atlanta (1-1) pulls off an upset win against the likes of Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, who are both 2-0 this season.
It remains to be seen whether Jackson will be joined in the stands by pop megastar Taylor Swift for tonight’s game.
Swift has attended both of her boyfriend Kelce’s Chiefs performances so far this season, and the singer is expected to be at Mercedes-Benz Stadium amid her current break from the Eras Tour.

In addition to looking out from the crowd, Jackson also appeared in a cinematic opening sequence on Sunday Night Football, where he sent out a rallying cry to the Falcons before the big game.
“The challenges come fast and furious… never more so when their names are Kelce and Mahomes,” the Pulp Fiction icon said in his monologue.
‘It’s about fighting with everything you’ve got to survive… and taking advantage of the nights that can make everyone talk about you differently… nights like this where you play hard, hit hard and get back up.’
The Falcons will have their work cut out for them tonight as they prepare to take on the back-to-back Super Bowl champions.
Kelce, their star tight end of the past decade, arrived at Mercedes-Benz Stadium dressed for the occasion in a bold, oversized black jacket and tie.
He completed the look with a white shirt, sunglasses and bright red sneakers after boarding the team bus in black slip-on sneakers moments earlier.
