PLAY OF THE DAY!
The Saints come into this game against the Chiefs having lost two tough games in a row. They lost by a field goal to the Eagles at home and then lost on a last second 58-yard field goal to the Atlanta Falcons on the road. However, despite being 2-2, there’s reasons for them to be optimistic. Derek Carr is off to a solid start this season and the offense seems to be much improved behind superstar running back Alvin Kamara. They have scored 24 points or more in 3 of their 4 games but facing Kansas City’s defense in Arrowhead Stadium will be a challenge. The Kansas City offense will also be challenged tonight. The Chiefs have dealt with massive injuries on offense. Rashee Rice is going to miss some time and possibly the season after hurting his ACL last week, and running back Isiah Pacheco after breaking his leg early in the season. Due in part to these injuries, the Chiefs have scored just 39 points in their last 2 games! The Saints have the best wide receiver in this game in Chris Olave, and they have the best overall offensive player aside from QB in Alvin Kamara. The key to this Play is for the Saints to avoid turnovers. They have a really good defense. If Derek Carr can protect the ball, we SHOULD have a close game that goes down to the wire!
