Week 16 of Monday Night Football will feature a Christmas celebration between the Kansas City Chiefs (9-5) and the Las Vegas Raiders (6-8) at Arrowhead Stadium. Additionally, the game will have a kid-friendly broadcast on Nickelodeon and will serve as the first game of a three-game Monday Night Football lineup.

The Kansas City Chiefs ended their two-game losing streak with a 27-17 victory over the New England Patriots in Week 15. The Chiefs are now expecting the return of running back Isiah Pacheco, who has been recovering from a shoulder surgery. Pacheco has been a valuable asset for the team this season, having completed 176 carries for 779 yards and six touchdowns. His presence in the lineups will certainly be a boost for the Chiefs.

The Las Vegas Raiders put an end to their three-game losing streak and recently won a resounding 63-21 victory over the struggling Los Angeles Chargers. This explosive offensive performance set a new record for the Raiders franchise. Quarterback Aidan O’Connell was on fire, completing 20 out of 34 pass attempts for 248 yards and four touchdowns.
