The NFL season begins Thursday night in Foxborough, Massachusetts, with what is supposed to be a dual commemoration of the on-field prowess of the New England Patriots. They and their fans are to celebrate last season’s fifth Super Bowl triumph during the reign of Coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady. Then the Patriots will embark on what some believe could be the first 19-0 season in NFL history.
And, oh yeah, the Kansas City Chiefs are scheduled to be on hand at Gillette Stadium, also. It’s pretty much a requirement for an NFL game that an opponent is present.
