Let the NFL season officially begin. The Kansas City Chiefs play the Baltimore Ravens tonight at Arrowhead Stadium in a must-win football game. It is a rematch of the close AFC championship game between them last year. This year, Lamar Jackson is a more leaner and stronger quarterback. Patrick Mahomes has taken shortcuts.
Mahomes has been seen with love handles sticking out during the summer days and basking in his second consecutive Super Bowl victory. What can the Chiefs possibly do to duplicate another Super Bowl? Well, they brought back Chris Jones and do not have many holes on defense.
The biggest x-factor comes down to Travis Kelce’s potential this year, along with the rest of the receivers. It is not to be much of an issue, however. The Chiefs have the potential to repeat, while some others do not. For example, the New England Patriots were a franchise that contended in the playoffs year after year and never let up.
Now, it is a different landscape today with the Buffalo Bills on the Chiefs’ back, the Patriots being led by Drake Maye, and the New York Giants continuing a trend with the same tarnished offensive line. It is a game of poke chips and the winner earns one or more Super Bowl victories.
