Kansas City, MO – October 23, 2025

The lights are back on at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium for Monday Night Football, as the Kansas City Chiefs (4–3) host the

Washington Commanders (3–4) in a Week 8 primetime clash that carries weight on both sides of the conference.

For the Chiefs, it’s another chance to reassert dominance in the AFC after a 31–0 shutout win over the Raiders.

Patrick Mahomes and Head Coach Andy Reid have their team clicking again, fueled by Mahomes’ precision and Travis Kelce’s leadership. For Washington, it’s about resilience — with Marcus Mariota stepping in for injured rookie

Jayden Daniels (hamstring) to face one of football’s most intimidating environments.

GAME INFO

Matchup: Washington Commanders (3–4) at Kansas City Chiefs (4–3)
Venue: GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium – Kansas City, Missouri
Kickoff: 8:15 p.m. ET

Kansas City enters the night with rhythm restored.

Patrick Mahomes has accounted for 15 total touchdowns in the past four games, Travis Kelce continues to dominate over the middle, and rookie speedster Xavier Worthy adds explosive downfield potential.

Isiah Pacheco provides balance with a bruising ground game that’s helped KC lead the league in time of possession.

Defensively, the Chiefs’ front anchored by Chris Jones, George Karlaftis

, and Leo Chenal has been lights-out — ranking top five in both sacks and scoring defense. With L’Jarius Sneed shadowing opponents’ top receivers, Kansas City looks to keep the momentum rolling at home.

Washington arrives led by veteran Marcus Mariota, replacing injured rookie Jayden Daniels. Behind him, playmakers Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson headline the Commanders’ offense, while Jonathan Allen and

Daron Payne aim to disrupt Mahomes’ rhythm up front.
