Kansas City rolls into Cleveland winning seven of eight to open the season. Their only loss came at the hands of Tom Brady in a game Kansas City knows they would have won if they had the ball last.

Cleveland will stagger into FirstEnergy Stadium losers of three straight and absorbing the messages of a new head coach and offensive coordinator after Hue Jackson and Todd Hale were dismissed earlier this week.

The situation has “trap” written all over it.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid is a smart guy. He might do well to show his team the film of Buffalo’s destruction of a superior, but napping, Minnesota team in Week 3.

Cleveland has a defense as good as the Bills and a much better offense. Plus, you never know how a coaching change will affect a team. Crazier things have happened than an upset of the presumed Super Bowl favorite in mid-season.

Pat Mahomes’ quest to break every rookie touchdown passing record might insulate him from an off day, but there are a lot of other personalities involved, too.

Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams is the interim head coach in Cleveland. He will leave the offense in the hands of Freddie Kitchens. If the rest of the team is as excited about the challenges ahead as quarterback Baker Mayfield is, the Browns might salvage something from this season.

Injuries and notes:

Linebacker Joe Schobert remains questionable for Cleveland Sunday. Wide receivers Rashard Higgins and Da’mari Scott are also listed as questionable but expected to play.

Chiefs’ linebacker Justin Houston returned to practice Wednesday. Kansas City can use him after his replacement, Joe Zombo (hamstring), and fellow linebacker Anthony Higgins (ribs) were knocked out of last week’s game.

Tyreek Hill strained his groin during last week’s game and is questionable for the Cleveland game. That would be a huge hit to the Chiefs’ offense.

Coaching matchup:

Cleveland’s interim coach has no head coaching experience. His biggest claim to fame was his suspension for running New Orleans’s system of paying bonuses for certain defensive hits some years back.

It seems almost unfair to pit him against Andy Reid in his first game. Reid continues to work his magic in Kansas City where it looks like his Chiefs will roll to their fourth straight division title.

Who will win the Browns-Chiefs game?

Well… anything can happen… on any given Sunday. That’s why they play the games. But… Cleveland didn’t exactly put Paul Brown in charge of the team while they search for Jackson’s replacement.

Reid and Mahomes would rather roll over a team in trouble than look past them.

Arizona went into their bye off their second win of the season. Hopes of coming out rested and ready to build on that success are probably unwarranted.

Andy Reid and his explosive Chiefs offense are waiting for the rebuilding Cardinals and their rookie passer. Kansas City is one possession away from being undefeated, and they have taken that frustration out on their subsequent opponents.

Only Denver’s defense has been able to slow the Kansas City juggernaut and the Chiefs didn’t seem to think they might lose either of those two games.

Still, Denver might give Arizona reason to believe they can pull off an upset. The Cardinal’s defense is ranked just below the Broncos in terms of points allowed.

The Chief’s defense hasn’t been a shutdown unit this season, but they improved enough to put the Chiefs in the Super Bowl discussion. The unit has given up 18 points per game over the past three weeks. That is about half of what the offense averages for the season.

Injuries and notes:

Sammy Watkins experienced enough pain in his foot to warrant an MRI this week. Andy Reid says he doesn’t expect the matter to be a long-term problem, but his status for Week 10 is undecided.

Several starting defenders are listed as questionable, but all are expected to be available against the Cardinals.

Arizona placed offensive tackle John Wetzel on injured reserve last week with a neck injury. No one else is listed on their injury report.

The team also released veteran quarterback Sam Bradford, making him available to other teams after failing to find a trade partner before the deadline.

Coaching matchup

Steve Wilks’ mantra since taking over the Cardinals has been that the hardest workers play. He has benched several veterans for unproven youth all season. We can see the on-field results, but the effect on his locker room has been unreported.

That is probably not a bad thing. We are interested to see who takes the field after the Cardinals’ bye week.

Andy Reid put his trust in second-year quarterback Pat Mahomes and it has proven warranted, to say the least. But Mahomes’ success is not purely due to his skills. Reid can be seen huddling with his young passer after almost every series, an effort that will only serve to accelerate Mahomes’ rise to NFL elite status.

Who will win the Chiefs-Cardinals game?

Earlier this season, the powerful Vikings hosted the woeful Bills as 14-point favorites. All the Bills did was humiliate the home team in every way possible.

Kansas City is an incredible 16-point favorite this week. Arizona had an extra week to develop a plan and rest up for the contest. With those points, Arizona will have a lot of fans this week. But history will not repeat itself.

Final score: Chiefs 35, Cardinals 17

Just one week after giving us a battle between last-place teams, Monday Night Football will air what could be the NFL’s Game of the Year.

Kansas City and the Los Angeles Rams bring the best combined won-lost record into a Monday Night Football game since the 1990 Giants and 49ers met with a combined 20-2 record.

Most fans expect the Chiefs and Rams to provide more points than the 7-3 final score of that 1990 classic.

In fact, the over-under for the game opened as the highest in history, topping the St Louis Rams’ “Greatest Show on Turf” versus the 49ers in the 2000 season. That game opened at 59 points and closed at the record 61.5.

This week’s matchup already shifted downward after early betting, dropping from 64 to 63.5 as of Tuesday.

The Chiefs only loss came in a shootout against the New England Patriots, where Tom Brady put the final points on the board as time expired. Not a single Chief doubts they would have won if they got the ball last.

New Orleans outgunned the Rams, 45-35, in another shootout to give Los Angeles their only loss. The Saints made enough defensive stops to assure Los Angeles could not outscore Drew Brees.

Injuries and notes:

Sammy Watkins sat out last week’s game as a precaution with a foot injury. He remains questionable but is expected to play Monday night.

Center Mitch Morse is expected to clear the concussion protocol in time to play, too.

Linebacker Frank Zombo is also questionable with a hamstring issue.

Rams slot receiver, Cooper Kupp, is done for the season after tearing his ACL last week. Josh Reynolds will take his spot in three-receiver sets.

Coaching matchup

Veteran genius, Andy Reid, will match wits with one of the younger coaching geniuses making his mark on the league, Sean McVay.

McVay continues to hit most of the right buttons for Los Angeles but will be challenged to offset the loss of Kupp while working to shore up the Rams’ defense behind Aaron Donald.

Reid’s offense is just as explosive as McVay’s, but the Chiefs’ defense has shown more life than the Rams. With reinforcements coming from the injured reserve ranks, Kansas City arguably has a better chance to go deep into the playoffs than his young counterpart’s team.

How to watch the Rams-Chiefs game

ESPN will broadcast this Monday Night Football classic across the nation. Assuming your overpriced cable or satellite provider includes ESPN in a package you can afford, you can watch the game on a standard TV.

Who will win the Rams-Chiefs game?

Points will be flying Monday night as Jared Goff and Todd Gurley argue with Pat Mahomes and Kareem Huntover which team has the best one-two punch in the NFL.

But it will be the defense who can make the most stops along the way that will decide the game. That gives a definitive edge to the team from the Midwest.

Baltimore has a rookie quarterback at the helm with a flawed passing motion leading to inaccuracy. Their young passer shows many of the pitfalls a rookie and his team should expect to suffer through.

And boy, does he have his team rolling.

Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson, the fifth rookie quarterback to debut in 2018, has energized the Ravens. His speed and mobility are working well in tandem with rookie running back, Gus Edwards, who also debuted with Jackson.

The team has rushed for over 200 yards in three consecutive games for the first time in their history. Jackson has a way to go before he’ll be called a good passer. He can be expected to mix in some darts with dreadful overthrows right now.

The Ravens’ top-ranked defense is anxious to face Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ dynamic offense. Playing keep-away on offense allows the defense to go at full speed every second they are on the field.

Kansas City’s defense won’t slow the Ravens runners down much, which makes for an interesting dynamic. If Baltimore keeps the Chiefs defense on the field for long stretches, will Kansas City have to dial down their own offense to help their defense?

75-yard touchdown passes on the first play takes less time than a three-and-out. How will dialing things back affect Mahomes and his rapid-fire mentality?

Injuries and notes:

Alex Collins (foot) was placed on injured reserve this week. Gus Edwards is listed as questionable with an ankle sprain but is expected to play Sunday.

Joe Flacco (hip) is increasing his practice time, but his starting position is not likely to be available when he returns, especially if Jackson pulls off the upset in Kansas City.

Offensive linemen Alex Lewis and James Hurst are listed as questionable but expected to play.

Wide receiver Sammy Watkins practiced Wednesday and could make it onto the field Sunday for the Chiefs.

Coaching matchup

Two long-time veterans face off with young and exciting new quarterbacks. Andy Reid bet that Mahomes would be up to the challenge of leading the Chiefs this season, and traded Alex Smith to Washington where he could still be a starter. Reid handled the Kareem Hunt distraction well, although the team almost got tripped up by the Raiders last week.

John Harbaugh might save his job by leading the Ravens to the playoffs with his rookie passer and runner. It would show his new boss he can manage a young team, which was the rationale for replacing Harbaugh when Jackson took over next season. The Ravens coach is making the best of Jackson’s strengths, maximizing not just his quarterback, but the whole offense.

Who will win the Chiefs-Ravens game?

Baltimore does not have the most explosive offense in the league, but they have shown an ability to keep the chains moving and control the clock. The number one defense will take on the Chiefs’ potent offense, relying on Lamar Jackson and Gus Edwards to give them plenty of rest between appearances.

With Kansas City’s porous defense, there is no reason to think they can’t pull it off.
