The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Washington Commanders for their Week 8 Monday Night Football action, live from GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. This Chiefs vs Commanders primetime matchup features a AFC vs NFC duel, with the Chiefs heavily favored to win the matchup as Washington’s QBq Jayden Daniels is ruled out for the game.

The Chiefs are 4-3 to start their season and finally back in full strength with Rashee Rice back in the lineup after serving 6 games suspension. Rice was excellent in his debut against the Raiders in Week 7, scoring two TDs. The Chiefs shut out the Raiders last game, and pulled off a great win against the Detroit Lions in Week 6 without Rice in the lineup. Their QB Patrick Mahomes has led this team this season, and despite their early season struggles, the Chiefs are starting to find their rhythm.

Meanwhile, the Commanders will push out their backup QB Marcus Mariota to the starting role again as Jayden Daniels is currently dealing with a hamstring injury. Even with the latest additions to bolster the roster in the offseason, the Commanders have become a ghost of their former selves, struggling to get wins consistently. Their defense is still amongst the bottom half teams and their offense has been inconsistent with players in and out of the lineup.

I cover the National Football League and things cannot get better than that. I always dreamed to play football or basketball professionally since I’m built like a Running Back. But now that I can’t, since I’m technically in the “Unc” age, I thought why not pick a career in sports industry? So here I am, doing what I love, and hoping that the Commanders win the Super Bowl. I give love to players when it’s due, but can be critical about their performances at the same time. Enough about me, now let my articles do all the talking.
