It’s time for another round of Kansas City Chiefs against the rest of the league.
The biggest storyline going into the 2024 NFL campaign is whether Patrick Mahomes’ squad can lift the Lombardi Trophy for the third consecutive year. Kansas City has been to six consecutive AFC Championship Games during a stretch that includes three Super Bowl titles and four Super Bowl appearances and seems ready to make another run.
It won’t be easy, though, with a long list of star AFC quarterbacks looking to stand in the way.
Yet the Chiefs and the rest of the challengers first need to know the order of their opponents before they start planning how to navigate the road to the sport’s biggest stage. They will learn that order at 8 p.m. ET on May 15 when the NFL releases its 2024 schedule, according to Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal.
While the schedule release brings plenty of excitement as fans begin to plan their tailgates and forecast where their teams’ wins and losses will come from, the actual list of opponents comes as no surprise.
That is because the league already released the list of opponents for every team back in January.
With that in mind, here is a look at that list, as well as some games that jump out.
