KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs host the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football today in Week 5 of the NFL season. Kickoff at Arrowhead Stadium is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. Eastern Time and the game will be broadcast on ESPN.

Several streaming services will broadcast the game live, and you can watch it on Fubo (free trial and $20 off your first month), DirecTV Stream (free trial), and Sling (promotional offers).

The Chiefs are coming off a win against a division rival, the Chargers, but suffered a serious injury in last week’s game when Rashee Rice was injured. It is unclear how long he will be out, but he will not be available to play today.

Despite some serious injuries on the offensive line, it will be up to quarterback Patrick Mahomes to help the offense through a rough patch, despite Rice.

As for the Saints, they have calmed down from their blistering start to the season and are now 2-2 and facing a losing record. In the first two games, this quickly felt like an impossibility.

Check out a complete look at NFL action in Week 5, including Tim Bielik’s predictions.
