Monday Night Football live stream tonight [ESPN]: Watch online Patriots vs Chiefs [preview]

NFL

Monday Night Football will feature the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs in what should be a fantastic game from Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.

Today's big game will start at 8.30 p.m. EST and will be broadcast on TV on ESPN. The game can also be watched online through live stream – free for subscribers – via the link provided below.

The Patriots go on the road today with a 2-1 record, where as the Chiefs come into Week 4 on 1-2 and with a lot of work to do if they are to maintain any sort of pressure on division favorites, the Denver Broncos.

New England will have big postseason plans for this season, and one of the major challenges for them this regular season will be to claim a sixth consecutive AFC East title and earn a first round bye for the fourth straight season.

However, they have a lot of work to do still, and based on their performances through the first three weeks of the season they are far from the finished article. In their current form they will struggle to gain that first round bye, and will also struggle to be serious Super Bowl contenders.

But if they can put in the hard work and clean up in a number of areas they are currently a bit loose in, they have the potential to become true contenders for the championship this season.

It's not unusual for the Patriots to peak in the second half of the regular season, but they will want to really start to gear themselves up and get themselves into a good position for the second half of the season when the Playoff spots start to be filled.

Today's Monday Night Football game at Arrowhead Stadium will be a big challenge for this Patriots team, but will be one that they will believe they can overcome. Today's game starts at 8.30 p.m. EST and can be watched online by clicking here.
