Good evening New York Giants fans!
The NFL is, apparently, going back to high school with a Friday under the lights. That’s right, we’re getting a Friday Night football game between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs.
One little twist though, this game is in Brazil, so not exactly your normal Friday night high school game.
The Chiefs are looking to redeem themselves after failing to execute the three-peat and falling to the Eagles in the Super Bowl. The Chargers, meanwhile, want to start the season off on the right foot and deliver a loss to their division rivals.
The Chiefs will be back to full strength on the offensive line after having to field a reshuffled line in the playoffs. Their skill positions, however, are once again hurting and will leave Patrick Mahomes to pick up the slack. Wide receiver Rashee Rice will miss the first six games of the season, while Jalen Royals is out with an injury.
The Chargers, meanwhile have significant concerns on their offensive line. Pro Bowl tackle Rashawn Slater was lost for the season after suffering a torn patellar tendon in practice on August 7th, forcing second year tackle Joe Alt to switch sides. Potentially making matters worse, free agent guard Mekhi Becton was added to the injury report Friday with an “illness” and is questionable to play.
The Giants will be playing each of these teams in short order. They’ll be taking on the Chiefs in their Week 3 home opener on Sunday Night Football (9/21), and then hosting the Chargers in Week 4.
