Chiefs upset by Lions on opening night of the 2023 NFL season

The Kansas City Chiefs kicked off the 2023 season by hosting the Detroit Lions.

The Lions were the feel-good story of the 2022 season after fans fell in love with head coach Dan Campbell’s appearance on HBO’s Hard Knocks. The Chiefs lost tight end Travis Kelce during practice this week to a knee injury, but they still have reigning MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

How bad could it really be?

The answer is pretty bad. Mahomes looked good. He was on point with most of his throws. The big issue was his receivers having huge drops.
