Saints vs. Chiefs, live updates: Monday Night Football heads to Kansas City in Week 5

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

Kansas City has won 10 straight games dating back to last season, including the playoffs. All four wins this season have come by one possession, with the Chiefs needing either a late score or a shutout to get the win.

The Saints have calmed down after a brutal offensive start to the season. After blowing away its first two opponents and scoring 91 points in wins against the Panthers and Cowboys, New Orleans has dropped its last two, scoring 12 points (against the Eagles) and 24 points (against the Falcons) in those two losses. . However, the Saints are a potent rushing attack led by Alvin Kamara, who is tied for the league lead with five rushing touchdowns.

  • A Patrick Mahomes sack puts the Chiefs up on third-and-14 and eventually forces Kansas City to settle for a field goal. Harrison Butker hides in from 34 yards out, and the Chiefs extend their lead to 13-7 with 1:32 remaining before halftime.

  • And now the Chiefs have a first down. They ended up on second-and-34 after a penalty. On third-and-2, Travis Kelce caught a pass from Patrick Mahomes on a crossing route, then fed the ball to Samaji Perine.

    Perine then carried the ball two yards from the sticks. The Chiefs went four times on fourth-and-2 and converted. What a play.

  • Alontae Taylor just blew up the Chiefs’ play in the backfield and likely short-circuited a Kansas City drive that moved into Saints territory. Put Kansas City on 2nd-and-24. Chiefs running back Carson Steele lost the ball a week after he fell to the bench. Xaiver Worthy recovered for Chiefs.

  • Saints safety Will Harris limped off the field after appearing to suffer a leg injury due to the non-contact. He was on the Chiefs sideline for a long time before he walked into the locker room.

  • The Saints capped off the drive with a deep ball from Derek Carr to Rashid Shahid for a 43-yard touchdown. Shahid takes the top of the defense, and Carr finds him running free toward the end zone. 10-7, Chiefs.

  • The Saints finally got the ball moving. Several first defeats on this road, and above the midfield.

  • The Saints force an incompletion on fourth and fifth down in the red zone. The Chiefs go for a field goal and take a 10-0 lead.

  • The first quarter is in the books. Kansas City is 7-0 and has a lead at midfield. The Saints have 38 yards of total offense with two punt returns and an interception on three offensive possessions.

  • Derek Carr was under constant pressure from Steve Spagnuolo’s defense to provide a huge success for Kansas City.

  • Kansas City’s defense comes up with another stop, forcing the Saints’ second straight score. This is Objection 3 and 3 to the possessions of the Three Saints.

    The Chiefs’ defense — not their Patrick Mahomes-led offense — has been this team’s strength during their 4-0 start. This remains true early against the Saints.

  • The Saints defense forces a 3-and-out and a Chiefs punt for a big early stop. The Chiefs’ second scoring on two possessions could have spelled trouble for the Saints.

  • After the interception on the first drive, the Saints go 3 on the second and punt. This could escalate quickly for New Orleans.

  • Kareem Hunt ran five times for 23 yards on the scoring drive and appears to be at the top of Kansas City’s running back depth chart in the absence of Isiah Pacheco.

  • Travis Kelce caught three passes for 31 yards to help set up the touchdown.

  • The Chiefs convert the turnover into a 10-play, 78-yard drive capped by Kareem Hunt’s 5-yard touchdown run. 7-0 Chiefs and a rough start for the Saints.

  • Here’s another look at Cook’s objection.

  • I’m still trying to figure out why Derek Carr threw that ball up for grabs.

  • The Chiefs have a thrilling interception by safety Brian Cook. Derek Carr throws a deep ball up for grabs under pressure on first down, and Cook scoops it up for a turnover on the first drive of the game.

  • Alvin Kamara, F. The Saints running back was beleaguered for a loss on the end of a drive on third down. Instead, he reverses field and picks up a nine-yard gain to move the chains.
