Countdown to NFL kickoff: Chiefs vs Lions preview

Training camp has begun and the NFL season is just around the corner. Defending Super Bowl champs Chiefs will take on the Lions to kick off the 2023 season.

The NFL season is just over a month away, with training camps already in session and preseason starting in just two weeks. The 2023 season kicks off with defending Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Detroit Lions at Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday, September 7 at 8:20 p.m. ET.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes led the team to victory last season for the second time in four years. After a rocky start to the season, the Lions came back with a vengeance and finished the season 9-8. This year, they are predicted by many to be the best team in the NFC North under the leadership of Dan Campbell and quarterback Jared Goff. This year’s NFL season opener will be a good indicator of whether or not the Lions can live up to the hype when they take on Mahomes and company.
