What channel is Chiefs vs. Commanders on today? Schedule, time, live stream to watch 'Sunday Night Football' in Week 8 image

The Chiefs are feeling good heading into Week 8. Their opponent, the Commanders, are not.

Kansas City is 4-3, on a two-game winning streak and has a winning record for the first time this season after a shutout win last week over Las Vegas. Washington, meanwhile, is 3-4 after back-to-back losses.

Patrick Mahomes is having a down year by his standards, but the future Hall of Famer has recently been putting on a show for Kansas City with six touchdowns in the past two games and no interceptions.

The Chiefs' defense also allows the third fewest points per game this season at 17.7.

The Commanders have looked promising but have dealt with a ton of injuries this year. Jayden Daniels has missed time and could be out again this week after leaving Week 7 with a hamstring injury. Receivers Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel have been injured this year, too.

Here is everything you need to know about Chiefs vs. Commanders, including TV and streaming options for the game.
