Their 26-13 win sees the Chiefs move to 5-0 for the season, with the Minnesota Vikings the only other team still unbeaten.
However, Kelce’s wait for a first touchdown of the campaign continues.
The tight end had nine receptions for 70 yards against the Saints as his improved performances continued.
It comes after his prominent role in last week’s win at the Los Angeles Chargers, despite confusing fans by asking to use the phone.
His display on Monday Night Football had earlier been rocked by a brutal hit from Saints linebacker Anfernee Orji.
Kelce took contact from Orji’s head to his shoulder and could be seen wincing as he walked off the field holding his pads.
TV camera footage also showed the three-time Super Bowl champion looking upset as he wiped his face with a towel.
The 35-year-old had taken his seat on the bench for the next play as the Saints began their possession.

Kelce and the Chiefs are now set for a week off thanks to a bye this coming weekend.
Andy Reid’s side will return to action on October 20, when they travel to take on the San Francisco 49ers.

It has been a sluggish start to the season for the 49ers this time around, though, with a 2-3 record after Sunday’s narrow defeat to the Arizona Cardinals.
