Report: Lions vs. Chiefs to open season on Thursday Night Football

Chiefs Lions the Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings have a game against the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, but it won’t be to open the season.

One of the many official leaks this morning, the Detroit Lions will be taking on the Chiefs to open the 2023 season on Thursday, September 7th at 8:20 pm eastern.

Traditionally, the reigning Super Bowl champion hosts the season’s opening game and it’s usually against a high-profile team on their schedule. While the Lions aren’t traditionally one of those teams, they are consistently ranked in the top 10 in post-draft power rankings and are the odds-on favorites to win the NFC North.
