For the second time in four weeks, the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> are set to take the “Monday Night Football” stage. In Week 8, it’s a showdown with the Washington Commanders<\/a> from GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.<\/p>\n Kansas City has won two in a row to move to 4-3 on the season, and it’s looking to make it three straight wins to keep pace in the AFC West. Washington enters Week 8 with a 3-4 record, but it faces a tough task as starting quarterback Jayden Daniels will be sidelined with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n With Daniels unavailable, the Commanders will lean on 31-year-old Marcus Mariota, who is set to make his third start of the season. On the other side of things, the Chiefs are trending upward, as Patrick Mahomes is spreading the wealth across the offense; in Week 7, the return of Rashee Rice meant nine different players caught at least one pass, and Mahomes went 26-of-35 for 286 yards and three passing touchdowns.<\/p>\n There will be plenty of eyes on the primetime matchup in KC, and The Sporting News will be tracking live updates and highlights from the action.

However, McLaurin readjusted as the ball tailed away, getting both is feet via toe-tap before falling out of bounds. After replay review, McLaurin was exonerated; the Commanders are on the board.<\/p>\n After review… WASvsKC on ESPN\/ABC \u2014 NFL (@NFL) October 28, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Chiefs 7, Commanders 7<\/p>\n 9:18 p.m.:\u00a0McNichols traipses inside of Kansas City’s 10.

However, his aggression might’ve cost the Commanders some points. Facing fourth-and-one on the cusp of Kansas City’s 20, Washington’s coach opted to send the offense back on the field. Mariota’s throw was errant, leading to the Commanders’ second turnover on downs in as many possessions.<\/p>\n 8:50 p.m.: INTERCEPTION!\u00a0Travis Kelce’s middling season continues. The future Hall of Famer couldn’t corral Mahomes’ pass on third down. In fact, he deflected it into the air a la Samuel, resulting in another interception \u2014 Mahomes’ second of the day.<\/p>\n Bobby Wagner picks off Mahomes for the @Commanders<\/a> 2nd INT!<\/p>\n WASvsKC on ESPN\/ABC \u2014 NFL (@NFL) October 28, 2025<\/a>End of first quarter: Chiefs 0, Commanders 0<\/p>\n 8:40 p.m.: TURNOVER ON DOWNS!\u00a0Interception notwithstanding \u2014 and it wasn’t at all his fault \u2014 Mariota has had a strong start to life in Arrowhead Stadium thus far. Nevertheless, his pass to Zach Ertz on fourth down fell just short of the marker. Kansas City will get the ball back near midfield.<\/p>\n 8:33 p.m.: INTERCEPTION!\u00a0Marshon Lattimore returns the favor, undercutting Marquise Brown’s route to pick off Patrick Mahomes inside the red zone!<\/p>\n Marshon Lattimore picks off Mahomes!<\/p>\n WASvsKC on ESPN\/ABC \u2014 NFL (@NFL) October 28, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n 8:23 p.m.: INTERCEPTION!\u00a0After driving deep into Kansas City territory, Washington sees its possession crumble to a close after Deebo Samuel drops a gimme from Mariota and deflects it right into the path of Chiefs DE Mike Danna.<\/p>\n PICKED!
