MNF PREVIEW: By Nick Shook - Around The NFL Writer
Previewing the 'Game of the Year'
Tonight's game could very well be a Super Bowl preview if these 9-1 teams continue their 2018 success. Here's what to watch for when the Rams host the Chiefs tonight on "Monday Night Football."
You've probably heard about it by now, but in case you don't have anything invested in professional football and just stumbled onto this page, welcome! This is NFL.com, home of the National Football League, I'm Nick Shook and I'm here to tell you about an important football game.
It's between the two of the three best teams in the NFL according to overall win-loss record: The Kansas City Chiefs (9-1) and the Los Angeles Rams (9-1). Each are defending divison champions, and each lost in upset fashion early in the playoffs last year, returning in 2018 with eyes on redemption and more.
They've played like it all season, tearing through opponents and squeaking past the peskiest of challengers.
They've each only suffered one setback, and they're each a favorite to win their respective conferences.
They meet Monday night.
If that wasn't enough, here are five reasons why you should watch the game on Monday Night Football.
1. It's the game of the year!
2. MVP heavyweights meet
3. Marcus Peters faces his former, now red-hot team
4. Chiefs' pass rush vs. Rams' premier line
5. Familiar faces meet: Wade Phillips vs. Andy Reid
