Welcome back, NFL fans. The 2024-5 NFL season is here, and intense storylines are already writing themselves.
This week, reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs begin their campaign to win their third consecutive Super Bowl. But they’ll have to get past Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1 first. The Ravens are primed for a revenge game against the Chiefs, to whom they lost the AFC title last season. (It’s also the first chance for fans to spot Taylor Swift this season at a Chiefs game, if she indeed shows up.)
This week fans will also get a first-look at Saquon Barkley playing for the Philadelphia Eagles and Odell Beckham Jr. on the field with the Miami Dolphins.
