The NFL season begins this Thursday with a game between the Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs and recent Super Bowl losers, the Baltimore Ravens. The Chiefs will look to make it three straight wins with a win against the Ravens, but they’re down a running back after benching Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

The NFL Kickoff game is set for this Thursday, September 5, and will begin at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC (and Telemundo) and stream live on Peacock. Ready to tune in?
