After back-to-back doubleheaders, 'Monday Night Football' features just one game this week — but it's a good one.

Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs (4-0) look to remain undefeated when they host the Saints (2-2) under the lights from Arrowhead Stadium.

Kansas City continues to roll, mounting a second-half comeback to defeat the Chargers last Sunday. In fact, in each of their last three games, the Chiefs have overcome a second-half deficit.

But the degree of difficulty is turned up a notch with injuries to leading rusher Isiah Pacheco and leading receiver Rashee Rice. Both players are on Injured Reserve, placing more of the onus on veteran tight end Travis Kelce, who is coming off his best game of the young season.

New Orleans hopes to snap a two-game skid with each loss occurring in the final minutes. To rebound, the Saints will need their offense to rekindle its early season form: New Orleans is averaging 18 points per game in its last two games after averaging over 45 points per game across its first two contests.
