Chiefs vs. Saints live updates: TV info, picks for 'Monday Night Football' Week 5 game
The Saints go marchin' in to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday night.
The Chiefs (5-0) look to continue their Houdini act going on "Monday Night Football" in Week 5. Much like the start to their 2023 season, Kansas City doesn't look to be operating at full strength, especially offensively. Some of that is due to the un-Mahomes like start by Patrick Mahomes, some of it is injury, but all of it is eyebrow raising.
Speaking of eyebrow-raising, it was such a start for the Saints in 2024: With two explosive wins over the Panthers and Cowboys in the first two weeks of the season, New Orleans has come back to Earth with losses in their last two weeks. Defensively, the Saints are among the league's best, making for a challenge for the already-struggling KC offense in Week 5.
The Saints and Chiefs head to "Monday Night Football" itching for wins. USA TODAY Sports will provide live updates, highlights, and more from the Week 5 "MNF" matchup below:
