Washington is getting some help back at wide receiver but will be without starting quarterback Jayden Daniels for at least another week. With Daniels nursing a hamstring injury, Marcus Mariota will start tonight in Kansas City. The Commanders are getting their top two wideouts back for tonight's game in Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel, which should help Mariota and the Washington offense try to keep pace with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
After a slow start to the season, the Chiefs' offense is beginning to click and look like its former explosive self. The Chiefs lost their first two games but have won four out of their last five and find themselves above .500 for the first time this season.
Tonight's Monday Night Football game kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET (5:15 p.m. PT) on ABC and ESPN. You can flip over to ESPN2 during the game to catch the ManningCast with brothers Peyton and Eli, the popular alternative broadcast where the former NFL greats analyze the game and chat with different guests each week.

How to watch Commanders vs. Chiefs on Monday Night Football
If you don't have a cable or satellite TV subscription, you can watch tonight's game on ABC and ESPN or the ManningCast on ESPN2 with a live TV streaming service. You can also watch the main broadcast and the ManningCast with ESPN's new direct-to-consumer streaming service.
ESPN ESPN DTC Watch MNF on ESPN and ABC for $30 per month ESPN DTC comes in two flavors. The ESPN Unlimited plan costs $30 a month (or $300 a year) and lets you stream all of ESPN's linear networks: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNews, ESPN Deportes, SEC Network and ACC Network. You also get access to programming on ESPN on ABC, ESPN Plus, ESPN3, SECN Plus and ACCNX. For NFL fans, this new ESPN streaming service will let you watch every Monday Night Football game and the ManningCast for the 12 weeks it airs (11 weeks during the regular season and a Wild Card playoff game). There's also a $12-a-month ESPN Select plan that's basically a rebranding of ESPN Plus. With it, you'll have access to thousands of live games -- think small college conferences, whose games you can't watch anywhere else -- but not the NFL. See at ESPN
Sling/CNET Sling Orange Carries ESPN for $46 a month Sling's Orange plan costs $46 a month and includes ESPN but none of the other channels you need to watch the NFL this season. To get ESPN along with ABC, NBC, Fox and NFL Network, you would need to get the $61-a-month Sling Orange and Blue plan. But even then, you wouldn't get CBS for its Sunday afternoon games, making Sling a poor fit for NFL fans. Read our Sling TV review. See at Sling TV
