After starting the season 0-2, the Kansas City Chiefs are 4-1 in their past five games and looking to stay hot in the latest edition of "Monday Night Football." Standing in their way are the Washington Commanders, who try to get back in the win column after back-to-back losses, including a Monday night defeat at home against the Chicago Bears on a last-second field goal two weeks ago. The two squads are set for their prime-time, cross-conference clash in Kansas City. Washington will be without quarterback Jayden Daniels, who is suffering from a low-grade right hamstring strain.
