IT’S GAMEDAY, BABY! Not only that, but in my 14+ years of fandom (wow, I’m getting old) this is probably the most excitement I’ve felt for a season opener. The media loves the Kansas City Chiefs, and that means the media has paid more attention to the Detroit Lions than almost any lead up to a Lions season opener before. The Lions have a big game ahead that many are watching as a litmus test for whether they can carry over last year’s momentum.
The Chiefs are entering Week 1 already hobbled. They present a very whelming receiving corps, but that’s usually not a problem with Travis Kelce buoying the unit.
