MONDAY NIGHT PREVIEW

At L.A. Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles, 5:30 p.m., TSN

Whose offence is better, the Los Angeles Rams or Kansas City Chiefs?

Hours from now we’ll get a one-night answer, as these juggernauts square off in one of the most-hyped matchups in the 49-season history of Monday Night Football.

Each NFL team is 9-1, each owns the best record in its conference — Rams in the NFC, Chiefs in the AFC — and each can carve up a defence like few offences in league history.

So what if it’s not exactly a fair litmus test?

Originally this prime-time game was scheduled for a neutral field in Mexico City. But last Tuesday the NFL deemed the chewed-up playing soccer surface at Azteca Stadium unfit and relocated the game to the Rams’ home field: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

It would shock everybody if this game isn’t rife with scoring. Even in the NFL’s year of off-the-charts offence, these two teams might field the most dangerous of the bunch.

The Rams’ attack — masterminded by second-year head coach Sean McVay — is piloted by third-year quarterback Jared Goff, who ranks second in passing yards with 3,134 and seventh in TD passes with 22.

The Chiefs’ attack — schemed up by 19th-year head coach Andy Reid — is led by second-year quarterback (and firstyear starter) Patrick Mahomes, who has exploded onto the NFL scene. He leads the league in both passing yards (3,150) and TD passes (31).
