The day is finally here. Real, genuine football will be played tonight under the lights at Arrowhead Stadium, and though the results are meaningless in the end, Thursday’s game against the Houston Texans still signals the beginning of preseason football. That means it will be several months before we have to once again face football-less Sundays.
On Thursday, the Kansas City Chiefs are hosting the Texans to open their season—the first full season with Patrick Mahomes at the helm as starting quarterback. It’s the beginning of a new era for Chiefs Kingdom, even if he’s not slated to play all that much in the team’s first preseason row.
