Over the last half-decade, the Kansas City Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes have become one of the NFL’s greatest draws. When it comes time for the league’s schedule release each year, it is easy to anticipate the Chiefs will be given a maximum number of primetime games.
That was again the case in 2023, with Kansas City scheduled for six. The Chiefs will host the Lions in the Thursday night season-opener before playing on “Sunday Night Football” twice in three weeks, traveling to face Aaron Rodgers’ New York Jets in Week 4 before hosting the Denver Broncos in Week 6.
