Spotlight on quarterbacks: Patrick Mahomes vs. Derek Carr
Mahomes hasn’t lit it up yet so far in with opposing defenses playing two-high safety sets to keep the Chiefs’ star in front of them. He has six touchdowns, five interceptions, and ranks 11th with 904 yards through the first four games. The Chiefs are still off to a 4-0 start but must manage the season without Rice, who had 24 catches for 288 yards and three touchdowns before his injury. Kelce is second of the team with 15 catches for 158 yards and no touchdowns.
Carr came out of the gate with three touchdown passes in the season opener against the Carolina Panthers, threw two touchdowns in Week 2, one in Week 3 and none in Week 4. He has thrown for 824 yards with six touchdown passes to five different players, but he hasn’t been effective enough in the Saints’ 2-2 start. It’s Carr’s second season as Saints starter on a veteran-laden team that could compete for a playoff spot this season.
Player to watch: Saints RB Alvin Kamara
Kamara broke out with a four-touchdown performance against the Cowboys in Week 2, but has scored just one touchdown (against the Falcons last week) in the past two games. Still, Kamara sits atop the NFL with 536 yards from scrimmage and six total touchdowns through the first four games. If the Saints have any chance to beat the Chiefs on Monday night, they will need Kamara to shake free and be the big-time playmaker he is in prime time.
