The NFL season kicks off this Thursday with a game between the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and the recent Super Bowl losers, the Baltimore Ravens. The Chiefs look to get a strong start on their run toward a three-game title season with a win against the Ravens, but they’ll be without a running back after placing Clyde Edwards-Helaire on reserve. Meanwhile, the Ravens will look to prove themselves after their 17-10 loss to Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and the rest of the Chiefs in February. The NFL opener is set for this Thursday, September 5, starting at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC (and Telemundo) and will stream live on Peacock. Are you ready to tune in?
