The Kansas City Chiefs return to Arrowhead this week to face the New Orleans Saints on “Monday Night Football.”
Rashee Rice’s injury in Week 4 remains the biggest storyline for Kansas City heading into the Chiefs’ matchup against New Orleans.
With Rice out, other members of Kansas City’s receiving corps, especially rookie wideout Xavier Worthy, will have to step up to fill the void for Patrick Mahomes in the passing game.
Despite their 2-2 record, the Saints, led by former Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, look like one of the NFC’s most explosive teams. Former Chiefs defensive back Tyrann Mathieu will be patrolling New Orleans’ secondary, and Kansas City will need to be aware of his presence on passing plays.
Expect running back Kareem Hunt to see lots of action on Monday night as the Chiefs look to remain undefeated.
