The NFL season kicks off this Thursday with a game between Super Bowl champs the Kansas City Chiefs and most-recent Super Bowl losers, the Baltimore Ravens. The Chiefs are looking to start their run for a three-peat season off strong with a victory against the Ravens, but they’ll be down a running back after placing Clyde Edwards-Helaire on 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, Sept. 5, kicking off at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC (and Telemundo) and streaming live on Peacock. Are you ready to tune in? Here’s what you need to know about the Ravens vs. Chiefs game, plus the rest of the Week 1 NFL schedule.
