Amazon is getting its wish.
As was rumored by NBC Sports’ Peter King, the Kansas City Chiefs are one-half of the opening Thursday Night Football game on Amazon Prime Video. They’ll face the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2 on Thursday, September 15 at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
Amazon wanted to get a big quarterback matchup as the new hosts of Thursday Night Football, and they’re getting one of the most exciting matchups with Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert in a very tough AFC West division. Thankfully, the game is going to be played at home for Kansas City, where they’ll get a nice home-field advantage.
