The Kansas City Chiefs continued their unbeaten run with a 26-13 victory over the New Orleans Saints in the spotlight of Monday night. Kansas City capitalized on the Saints' struggles in scoring first-half touchdowns with Patrick Mahomes leading an efficient offensive showcase, throwing for 331 yards even amidst some red zone challenges. Kareem Hunt, freshly integrated into the lineup, quickly found the end zone on a 5-yard run, showing flashes of form from his earlier days with the team.
Derek Carr linked up with Rashid Shaheed for a 43-yard bomb to keep the Saints' hopes alive, but ultimately could not overcome the Chiefs' sharp defense led by Bryan Cook's drive-stopping interception and JuJu Smith-Schuster's impactful 50-yard catch. Harrison Butker's reliable kicking further widened the gap, while Xavier Worthy's ground touchdown sealed the Saints' fate. Despite a late injury to Carr, the Saints leaned on their special teams to remain competitive but emerged without a win for the third consecutive game.
