Live updates: Detroit Lions at Kansas City Chiefs, season opener

Special to The Detroit News

The long-awaited start of the 2023 NFL season arrives tonight, as the Detroit Lions travel to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the reigning Super Bowl-champion Kansas City Chiefs.

The Lions' 2022 season didn't end in a parade like their opponents. It came to an end before the playoffs even started. But Detroit's 8-2 run to end the year has fans and national writers alike excited about the team's potential heading into the 2023 season.

Dan Campbell and the Lions open the 2023 season on Thursday in Kansas City.

Quarterback Jared Goff is back at the helm, with star wide receiver Amon-Ra St.
