After a wild, upset-filled Sunday slate, we’re set to wrap up Week 5 of the 2024 NFL season with the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs playing host to the New Orleans Saints.
Kansas City is 4-0, but has scored fewer points in each successive game this season and is now without both Isiah Pacheco and Rashee Rice. The defense remains one of the best in the league, though, and has held some good offenses in check.
The Saints began their own season with a pair of blowout wins while totaling 91 points, but have slumped the past two weeks and dropped two in a row to even their record at .500. They have an opportunity here to match the Falcons and Buccaneers with a 3-2 record atop the NFC South.

In the two games since, the Saints have just 36 points and 585 yards, with just four touchdowns on 19 drives and scores on seven of them.
Which version of this offense should we expect on Monday night? Given what we have seen from the Carolina and Dallas point-prevention units since those respective games, it sure seems like the Saints are closer to the team they have been in Weeks 3 and 4 than the one they were in Weeks 1 and…
