Acting legend Samuel L. Jackson will cheer on his beloved Atlanta Falcons tonight against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Jackson, a longtime Falcons fan, will be at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the team’s showdown with back-to-back Super Bowl champions.
He hopes Atlanta (1-1) can pull off a surprise win over players like Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, who are 2-0 so far this season.
It remains to be seen whether Jackson will be in the stands with pop star Taylor Swift tonight.
Swift has made it to both of her boyfriend Kelce’s Chiefs appearances so far this season, and the singer is also expected to make an appearance at Mercedes-Benz Stadium during her current Eras Tour vacation.

Jackson not only watched from the crowd, he also appeared in a cinematic opening sequence of Sunday Night Football, calling out the Falcons ahead of the big game.
“The challenges come fast and furious… especially when they’re named 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 nights when everyone’s talking about you differently… nights like this when you play hard, hit hard and get up!”
The Falcons have a busy night ahead of them tonight as they prepare to face back-to-back Super Bowl champions.
Kelce, their star player of the past decade, arrived at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium dressed in a striking, oversized black jacket and tie.
He completed his look with a white shirt, sunglasses and bright red sneakers, having just boarded the team bus in black loafers.
