Three storylines for Chiefs-Saints
Saints QB Derek Carr ... remember him?
You’ll undoubtedly remember Saints quarterback Derek Carr from his time with the Raiders, and even if you didn’t, Carr spoke about his plan to block out the noise at the loudest NFL stadium ahead of his return.
Carr threw for five touchdowns to one interception in his first two games, but he’s thrown a pick in three straight weeks. The Chiefs would love to keep that trend going.
Speaking of quarterbacks: Let’s talk Patrick Mahomes
It’s certainly not time to panic about the Chiefs quarterback, who is down some weapons in Hollywood Brown and Rashee Rice. (The prognosis on Rice is still ongoing, by the way.)
But Patrick Mahomes could use a get-right game on “Monday Night Football” ... that is, if his receivers can handle the bright lights (quite literally, by the way). He hasn’t looked like himself since the opener, even as KC enters Monday undefeated.
Kareem Hunt returns to Kansas City
Kareem Hunt, of course, has been back with the Chiefs for a bit, but he spent his first week on the practice squad and last week’s game was in Los Angeles.
That means Monday will mark Hunt’s first Chiefs appearance at home in a long, long while, something he said he’s been looking forward to for some time. He had 85 yards from scrimmage last week, and the Chiefs could use an encore against the Saints (2-2).
More Kansas City Chiefs coverage
Looking for a game prediction? You’re in luck. The Star’s Jesse Newell likes Kansas City to win and cover. The national experts? They favor KC, but there are more Saints picks than you’d expect.
There’s obviously lots of familiarity between the Chiefs and Derek Carr. KC’s Steve Spagnuolo addressed the longtime KC rival and why he won’t forget one play from a past meeting.
Of course, Kansas City sports fans will have their hands full on Monday night, and that’s in part because two of the best players in their respective sports, Patrick Mahomes and Bobby Witt Jr., call Kansas City home. They share a few traits, too.
