espn.com

Football is back, and the 2024 NFL kickoff game will see two familiar opponents face off Thursday night as the Kansas City Chiefs host the Baltimore Ravens.

In a rematch of the 2023 AFC Championship Game, Kansas City is chasing history and aiming to become the first team to win three straight Super Bowls, while Baltimore looks to spoil the party.

As if that wasn't enough, this opener features a quarterback duel for the record books: Patrick Mahomes vs. Lamar Jackson — the first time two multi-MVP winners under 30 have faced off in Week 1.

Kansas City is playing in its fourth NFL kickoff game, tying the New England Patriots for the most appearances — 2004, 2005, 2015 and 2017.
