The 5.5-point favored Saints will try for their first road win of the year Sunday when they visit the struggling Kansas City Chiefs, who are expected to have Larry Johnson back in the lineup. Drew Brees leads the NFL's top-ranked offense, which is gaining 422.2 yards per game. He's on pace to throw for a record-setting 5,309 yards, but has struggled on the road.

Brees hasn't faced the Chiefs since he played for San Diego in 2005. In seven games against them, he's thrown for 1,847 yards, 13 touchdowns, and six interceptions.

The Chargers QB should add to those totals since the Chiefs have lost five straight and have one victory in their last 18 games overall.
