The Kansas City Chiefs just might be back. After a sluggish open to the 2025 NFL season, with Patrick Mahomes heavily dependent upon his own legs to generate offensive rhythm for an injury-challenged lineup, the reigning AFC champions are eyeing their fifth win in six weeks on Monday night, closing the Week 8 slate with an opportune matchup with the Washington Commanders.
A year ago, the Commanders might’ve presented a formidable challenge under the prime-time lights, with Jayden Daniels almost literally running away with NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. But the young quarterback is sidelined with his second significant injury of the year, leaving veteran journeyman Marcus Mariota to take his place. In other words, Dan Quinn’s hopeful NFC contender could have its hands full on the road against a Chiefs team that’s scored 30-plus points in three of its past four matchups.
Can Washington find a way to steal the Monday night thunder at Arrowhead? Or is Kansas City poised to get another confidence-boosting victory? Either way, this is a must-see matchup. Keep it locked here for live updates and analysis.
