The start of the NFL regular season is only a few hours away, and from the time the Kansas City Chiefs won Super Bowl LVII over the Philadelphia Eagles to their matchup against the Detroit Lions, a lot has happened.

But there’s a lot more that’s happened over the course of the offseason.

The Chiefs will embark on a quest for something that hasn’t been done in the NFL since the 2003 and 2004 seasons: win back-to-back Super Bowl titles.
