The NFL season is just around the corner with the traditional kickoff game getting things started on Thursday, September 6.
This season the game, which annually features the previous season’s Super Bowl champion, is between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Detroit Lions. The Lions had a big season in 2022, just missing out on the playoffs in Year 2 under Dan Campbell. Kansas City is…well Kansas City. They’re expected to be in the hunt for another Super Bowl title in 2023 with Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce returning to the field.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch the opening game of the NFL season on Thursday.
