New Orleans Saints hosting Chiefs in week 15

While the Saints have yet to rule out a Drew Brees return in week 15, the other side of Sunday’s quarterback match up is something New Orleans has a close eye on as well.

Reigning Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes has the Chiefs steamrolling their way through the AFC with an overall record of 12-1, not too much better than the Saints at 10-3.

In fact, their combined 22-4 record is tied for the fourth-highest win percentage in a week 15 game or later.

The Saints are fresh off their first loss following a nine game win streak and it doesn’t get easier against the league leader in total offense. Marshon Lattimore said, “He’s a great quarterback that we have to defend, and we’ve just got to be on top of our game and we’ll be good. He’s a great quarterback.”

Marcus Davenport said, “He’s a threat kind of no matter what you do but that’s kind of to be expected. Honestly, he’s one of the great players that you have to look out for and just try to do all that you can. We know it’s going to be a slugfest, but you just kind of have to win more than you lose.”

The Saints and Chiefs kick things off at 3:25 p.m. Sunday from the Mercedes Benz Superdome.
