It's time for the Chiefs to get things back on track. At least, Chiefs fans hope that it is.

The reigning AFC Champions have lost for the fourth time already this year. They have just a 3-4 record after seven games and have already matched or exceeded their total losses from the last three seasons.

Kansas City desperately needs a win to stay afloat in the competitive AFC West. The Giants represent a good opportunity for them to do that.

The Giants sport just a 2-5 record and while they're coming off a win over the Panthers, they have largely proven beatable this season. In their last seven "Monday Night Football" games, the Giants are 1-6 straight up, so they seem to be at a minor disadvantage. That could become major if the crowd at Arrowhead Stadium gets rowdy.

Here's all you need to know to watch the Chiefs take on the Giants on "Monday Night Football" tonight.

What time is the NFL game tonight?

  • Date : Monday, Nov. 1
  • Time : 8:15 p.m. ET

"Monday Night Football" will kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET. Every Monday night game in 2021 is scheduled to start at that time.

"Monday Night Football" will be broadcast on ESPN in Week 8. Steve Levy (play-by-play), Brian Griese (analyst), Louis Riddick (analyst) and Lisa Salters (sideline reporter) will comprise the broadcast team.

Week 8 will also feature an alternate watch option, the so-called "ManningCast". "Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli" will return for the second straight week and its fifth episode. Last week, the Mannings spoke with Marshawn Lynch, Tom Brady, Sue Bird and Drew Brees. Expect them to bring more quality guests on air.
