The NFL season is really here!
The wait is over! The 2024 NFL season begins with an excellent Thursday Night Football matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and the Kansas City Chiefs. It’s a rematch of the AFC Conference Championship Game, where the Chiefs went on the road to defeat Baltimore, 17-10. The reigning Super Bowl Champions are 4-1 against the Ravens since Patrick Mahomes (2017) and Lamar Jackson (2018) were drafted.
Kansas City added several pass-catchers in the offseason; one, Hollywood Brown, will miss the game with a collarbone injury. Former Baltimore defensive coordinator Mike MacDonald is now the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. The Ravens added former Tennessee Titan Derrick Henry to their backfield and will have tight end Mark Andrews healthy.
The Detroit Lions upset the Chiefs 21-20 on last year’s opening Thursday Night Football game. Can the Ravens do something similar?
