Monday Night Football's Saints vs Chiefs live stream could stretch even Patrick Mahomes' extraordinary powers of endurance to breaking point, with Rashee Rice joining Isiah Pacheco and Hollywood Brown in KC's treatment room — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free!

Pacheco only played twice before breaking down, yet he stands behind only Rice as Mahomes' most productive target this season. Travis Kelce was anonymous again before Rice was carted off the field last weekend, but then roared into life to help steer the Chiefs to a 17-10 win over the Chargers, a fourth tight victory in as many weeks. If Kelce and Kareem Hunt are able to grasp any kind of consistency, Mahomes and the defense have shown that they'll take care of the rest.
Derek Carr has only won once at Arrowhead Stadium in his career, against eight defeats, and that was during the Covid-shaped 2020 season, when the arena was about 80% empty. Monday presents his best shot at adding to that tally, even though the Saints are now on a two-game skid following their scintillating start. The 26-24 defeat to the Falcons was, however, largely their own doing, a pick six and muffed punt proving the difference between a resounding win and an agonizing defeat.
The Saints have some significant injuries, too. All-purpose utility man Taysom Hill is out for the offense, while former Chief Willie Gay is out on defense. Lineman Cesar Ruiz is also out due to a knee injury.
Right now DraftKings has the Chiefs as surprisingly heavy 5-point favorites on the road. We have all the information on how to watch Saints vs Chiefs below, and all of this season's football with our 2024/25 NFL live streams guide.

How to watch Saints vs Chiefs from anywhere
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the game on your usual subscription? You can still tune in via a virtual private network, or VPN. A VPN makes it appear like you're surfing the web from your home, allowing you to access the streaming services you already pay for. It's legal and easy to do.
We've tested many different VPN services and our favorite is NordVPN; it offers superb speeds, excellent customer service and a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out first to see if it's right for you. But you've got other VPN options too, so check out our full list of the best VPN services.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view your usual Aussie service, you'd select Australia from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to My5 and watch the Saints vs Chiefs live stream.
