Patrick Mahomes and the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs will kick off the 2023 season against the upstart Detroit Lions in a matchup of high-powered offenses while Aaron Rodgers will make his New York Jets debut on “Monday Night Football” against the Buffalo Bills.
Coming off their second championship in four seasons, the Chiefs will host the Lions on Sept. 7 on “Thursday Night Football.” The Lions finished 9–8 last season after a 1–6 start and knocked Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers out of the playoffs with a 20–16 victory at Lambeau Field in the final regular-season game.
