The Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots are playing live on the Monday night football schedule on ESPN and the NFL game in Week 4 of the season comes from Arrowhead Stadium as KC and NE battle and the game is live streaming on the WatchESPN website past 8:25 pm ET as Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski take on Alex Smith and Jamaal Charles to close out the football week.
The Patriots now have their third road game in four weeks to start the season and that has been a tough stretch, but they have won two games in a row after opening with a loss against the Dolphins. The team has a 2-1 record and the chance to take control in the division and they have a tough slate coming up with KC and then the Bengals, who are coming into that game undefeated. The Patriots and Bengals could be a playoff preview and that has Cincy coming in at 3-0 on the season after a bye this week.
The Patriots are ranked near the bottom of the league in passing yards per game and they are also ranked first in passing yards allowed per game. The team has not had a standout performance yet and that could be shaping up for Monday night depending on how Kansas City deals with their injuries on defense. Brady and the Pats are favorites once again for their division and they should be right there at the end.
The Patriots did not look all that great in their home win against the Oakland Raiders, but they did enough to get it done and 234 yards from Brady were just enough. The team now heads to one of the toughest places to play in the league and that kicks another stretch with two road games in three weeks. The team catches a break with three home games in a row after that, but one is a Thursday night game and that's against the Jets and those short week games can be tough.
The Giants hung over 40 on the Redskins last Thursday and now all the teams that have lost that game this season have lost by at least 20 points. The team then has two more tough games with the Chicago Bears and the Denver Broncos before their bye week and those both will be at home. The Patriots come out of the bye week with a night game against the Indianapolis Colts and that will be on the road in Indy for that matchup. The team has another stretch of three games on the road in four weeks after that.
The Patriots come into that game ahead of a matchup with NFC North teams, as they play the Lions and then the Packers in back to back games. The Pats will travel to Lambeau Field for the Green Bay matchup and then the team has another playoff club on the schedule with the San Diego Chargers. The team ends the season with divisional matchups and that includes a home game against Miami and a roadie against the Jets in Week 17.
