KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Here comes No. 5 in a string of six.

The NFL handed the Chiefs either a standalone broadcast window or a network’s A crew in each of the season’s first six weeks, including the team’s Week 5 appearance on Monday Night Football.

Patrick Mahomes has won eight of his last nine Monday night starts, his only loss in that stretch a 2023 setback at home against Philadelphia. The prior loss came in a 2018 shootout at the Los Angeles Coliseum. Jared Goff and the Rams outlasted the Chiefs that night, 54-51, in a game originally scheduled for Mexico City but moved due to stadium-readiness concerns.

Mahomes is 9-2 overall under the Monday night lights.
