'Monday Night Football' live updates: New Orleans Saints face Chiefs in Kansas City

The Chiefs follow up a Saints three-and-out with one of their own.

A Jawaan Taylor false start set the drive back, and Patrick Mahomes couldn’t make an accurate throw while under pressure on 3rd-and-12. New Orleans takes over trailing 7-0.

New Orleans goes three-and-out after the Chiefs touchdown. The Saints could only manage five yards in three plays before punting.

Kansas City takes over with a 7-0 lead.

Travis Kelce had three catches for 31 yards on Kansas City’s opening drive.

After a slow start in the first three weeks of the season, Kelce is coming alive. He had seven catches in Week 4, and he’s on pace for many more tonight.

The Chiefs need his production with Isiah Pacheco and Rashee Rice both out.

Exciting start to this game!

Saints QB Derek Carr was picked off after a baffling attempt at a throwaway on their first drive.

And the Chiefs responded by immediately putting up a touchdown. Travis Kelce had a few receptions on the quick drive, which resulted in a Kareem Hunt touchdown run.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce's girlfriend, pop superstar Taylor Swift, has arrived in Kansas City for tonight's MNF game. It is her first game since the Chiefs' home win against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sept. 15.

Patrick Mahomes and Co. are 4-0 on the season but all four wins have come by seven or fewer points. It's actually the Chiefs' defense, not typically high-powered offense, keeping them in games.

Kansas City's offensive numbers are middle of the pack. It ranks 15th in points per game (23), 15th in yards per game (328.3), 13th in points per play (0.385) and 16th in yards per play (5.5).

Mahomes has yet to throw for 300 yards in a game this year and has a 89.7 QBR -- 19th in the NFL.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had a much-needed breakout game against the Los Angeles Chargers last Sunday, aiding his team in a 17-10 win.

Kelce, 35, had five catches for 74 yards in the first half alone. Those 74 yards eclipsed the 69 yards he had amassed during the first three games of the season combined. He finished with 89 yards on seven receptions.

Entering last Sunday, Kelce hadn’t caught more than four passes or finished with more than 34 yards in any game this season.

Kamara, a Pro Bowler from 2017-2021, has looked like his old self so far this season. He's averaging 90.5 yards a game and has five scores on the ground. Kamara has also proven to be a passing-catching threat with 174 yards receiving and a touchdown.

The 29-year-old could be the difference against the Chiefs on Monday night.

The New Orleans Saints got out to a blistering start, scoring 47 points against the Panthers in Week 1 and then 44 points against the Cowboys in Week 2. Since then, however, that production has dropped mightily.

In back-to-back losses, New Orleans scored 15 and 26, respectively. Quarterback Derek Carr has also come down to earth with one total touchdown and two interceptions over that time period.

Which team will we see against a Chiefs defense surrendering 227.8 passing yards a contest?

The Chiefs are looking to start 5-0 for fifth time in franchise history and the fourth time under head coach Andy Reid. It would be the first time since 2018, the first season with Patrick Mahomes as starting quarterback.

That said, they haven't looked dominant. All four wins during the 4-0 start have come by seven points or fewer.

Already without the team’s leading rusher in running back Isiah Pacheco (fibula), the Chiefs will be without leading receiver Rashee Rice, who suffered a knee injury in Week 4. Rice is still undergoing an evaluation to see the extent of the injury and a timetable for a possible return.

"We’ve got a good group of guys there that we can utilize," Andy Reid told reporters this week, "and we normally spread the ball around and that’s what we’ll continue to strive to do.”
