The New Orleans Saints and Kansas City Chiefs face off on Monday Night Football, and the game was all about the Chiefs. At the time of writing, the Chiefs have secured 16 points while the Saints have remained largely quiet with just one touchdown.

The Saints haven't been able to get much offense going despite having receivers like Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed and running back Alvin Kamara. Olave has emerged as a solid option for quarterback Derek Carr, but he surprisingly wasn't involved much on Monday night.

This has led to his brother calling out saints on social media.

Chris Olave's brother, Josh Olave, posted simple two words on X that went viral.

Josh's post reads: “1 goal?”

This simple two word answer speaks volumes as it is quite strange that Chris was only targeted once. In fact, Chris was named a season-high 10 times in Week 4, making eight catches for 87 yards.

This Chiefs defense is nothing to sneeze at and has caused problems for Carr and the offense. Carr threw a pick on his first series, and the momentum has swung heavily toward Kansas City.

Still, the Saints offense needs to find a way to get Olave going in the same way they did with Shaheed. When Olave and Shaheed face off, the Saints have one of the best receiving duos in the league.

It's understandable that Chris' brother Josh questions the Saints' play calling, as they often get Chris involved early. New Orleans needs to overcome its passing issues and get Chris the ball.

The Chiefs are currently undefeated, but not unbeatable. Every single one of their first four victories were decided by a score. The Saints are also a good football team. Even though they are 2-2 heading into this game, they have playmakers on both sides of the ball.

With multi-threat offensive weapon Taysom Hill out, the Saints offense should find a way to get all of their playmakers involved. As things stand, Carr is relying on Shaheed.

There is nothing wrong with targeting Shaheed as he is an excellent receiver. But if Olave were to be more involved, it would be much harder for the Chiefs defense to figure things out.

There is still a lot more football to be played and it will be interesting to see how the Saints distribute the passes.
