Open Thread: Ravens at Chiefs kick off 2024 NFL season on Thursday night

It’s been a long seven months but the NFL is finally kicking off its 2024 regular season by revisiting the AFC Championship matchup from last year’s playoffs with the Baltimore Ravens traveling to Missouri to take on the defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs.

While it seems logical to have playoff teams revisiting their matchups in this exciting opening game, it’s only the third time in the previous 20 seasons that the two teams from last season’s conference championships have faced off in the opener. The last time this happened was in 2010, so we should be in for quite a treat.
