The Kansas City Chiefs opened up as 6.5-point favorites for the NFL season opener on Thursday night, but they lost, 21-20.

Of course, they were without star tight end Travis Kelce, which moved the spread in favor of the Detroit Lions by about a field goal, but nonetheless, a team that missed the playoffs last year defeated the Super Bowl Champions on their own home field.

Sure, Detroit may have missed out on the postseason last year, but dating back to last year, the Lions have now won nine of their last 11 games.

But the Chiefs are the favorites to go back-to-back, a feat that has not been accomplished since the New England Patriots did it in 2004 and 2005, so it's hard not to blame Patrick Mahomes for being disgusted at the loss.

"It’s embarrassing for me to lose any time," Mahomes said after the game.

The Chiefs held a ceremony to commemorate their Super Bowl LVII victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in February, but Mahomes paid no mind to it, focusing on the task at hand, and he did not get the result he wanted.
