The NFL season kicks off tonight with a game between Super Bowl champs the Kansas City Chiefs and most recent Super Bowl losers, the Baltimore Ravens. The Chiefs are looking to start their run for a three-peat season off strong with a victory against the Ravens, but they'll be down a running back after placing Clyde Edwards-Helaire on reserve. Meanwhile, the Ravens will be looking to prove themselves after their 17-10 loss to Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the rest of the Chiefs in February. The NFL kickoff game is scheduled for tonight, Sept. 5, kicking off at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC (and Telemundo) and streaming live on Peaco*ck.
