Joey Chestnut showing up to the Falcons game the night they gave away hot dogs is too perfect

Sunday night, the Atlanta Falcons hosted a huge game against the back-to-back Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. It was also a night of celebration as they honored longtime Falcons owner Arthur Blank with a spot in the Ring of Honor.

Part of that celebration included a free soda, bag of chips and hot dog to all fans in attendance. In preparation, the Falcons reportedly purchased 100,000 hot dogs.

Well, competitive eater and enemy to hot dogs everywhere heard free hot dogs and cleared his calendar. The 16-time Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest champ holds the world record with 83 hot dogs and buns consumed in 10 minutes, set just this year.

We see what’s going on here, Chestnut. Well played.
