The "Monday Night Football" stage will feature two high-flying offenses and strong defenses, when Patrick Mahomes and the back-to-back defending-champion Chiefs host Derek Carr and the Saints at Arrowhead Stadium. 

The Chiefs have started the season 4-0, but they also have some key injuries to endure. Running back Isiah Pacheco and wide receiver Rashee Rice — two of Mahomes' biggest offensive weapons — have joined Hollywood Brown on Kansas City's IR. 

New Orleans, meanwhile, has endured a two-game skid after looking like the best team in the NFL in the opening weeks of the season. The Saints have plenty of firepower with Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave, and Rashid Shaheed, but they need to put it all together and reestablish a groove — two tall tasks when visiting Arrowhead.
