Saints Vs. Chiefs score, live updates: Monday Night Football heads to Kansas City for Week 5

Patrick Mahomes and the two-time defending AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs are the last undefeated team in the AFC and they will look to keep it that way this week against the New Orleans Saints on “Monday Night Football.”

Kansas City won 10 straight games last season, including the playoffs. All four wins this season have come on one possession, with the Chiefs needing a late score or shutout to pull off the win.

The Saints have cooled off after a monster offensive start to the season. New Orleans has lost its last two after scoring 91 points in wins over the Panthers and Cowboys, and scored a more pedestrian 12 (against the Eagles) and 24 (against the Falcons) in those two losses. . Still, the Saints are a solid rushing offense led by a revitalized Alvin Kamara, who is tied for the league lead with five rushing touchdowns.

Kansas City’s defense comes up with another stop, its second-straight 3-and-out from the Saints. That’s an interception and two 3-and-outs in three Saints possessions.
