At last, at long last, the 2023 NFL Season has officially arrived. For months and months, we waited, and now finally, a new season begins.
The sight of opening night kickoff is Arrowhead Stadium where the Kansas City Chiefs, the reigning Super Bowl champions led by reigning league and Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes, take on the up-and-coming Detroit Lions.
Of course, the fun doesn't end on Thursday. Sunday features several big matchups and several other of stars of the game. Tom Brady returns to Foxborough to be honored for his Patriot years following his retirement when Mac Jones and the Pats host the defending NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaking of Brady, his former team, Tampa Bay, enters the Baker Mayfield era when they take on the Vikings in Minnesota. Jordan Love takes over for Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay as they head to Chicago to face DJ Moore, Justin Fields, and the Bears. Three rookie quarterbacks make their debuts with Bryce Young (Panthers/Falcons), CJ Stroud (Texans/Ravens), and Anthony Richardson (Colts/Jaguars).
Week 1 caps off with Sunday Night Football when Dak Prescott and the Cowboys head to MetLife to face the New York Giants and Aaron Rodgers leads the heavily talked about New York Jets into battle at home against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football (Sep. 11).
