Thursday nights are about to belong to Amazon.
The NFL season officially kicks off on Thursday, September 5 with a clash of Super Bowl hopefuls as Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs host Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens on NBC and Peacock. The Ravens finished the 23-24 regular season with the best record in the NFL (13-4) before losing to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship game. Kansas City went on to, let me check my notes, ah yes, win the Super Bowl.
So it was a pretty good year for the Chiefs.
