The NFL season kicks off this Thursday with a matchup between Super Bowl champions the Kansas City Chiefs and recent Super Bowl losers the Baltimore Ravens. The Chiefs will be looking to start their run for a back-to-back season strong with a win over the Ravens, but they’ll be missing a running back after placing injured Clyde Edwards-Helaire on injured reserve. Meanwhile, the Ravens will be looking to prove themselves after their 17-10 loss to Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the rest of the Chiefs in February. The NFL kickoff game is scheduled for this Thursday, September 5, starting at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC (and Telemundo) and will be streamed live on Peacock. Ready to tune in?
