The Kansas City Chiefs’ opponent for week two of the 2024 NFL season has been released. The defending Super Bowl champions will stay home to start the new campaign.

According to the team, the Chiefs will host the Cincinnati Bengals at Arrowhead Stadium on CBS on Sunday, Sept. 15, at 3:25 CT. Considering the teams ‘ recent history, the annual battle with Joe Burrow and company will be one of the early-season must-watch matchups. The Patrick Mahomes and Burrow duel was postponed last season due to the latter’s injury, which sidelined him for the rest of the year.

The Bengals fell short of the postseason last year due to injuries and inconsistent play, but following offseason changes, they are still a threat in the AFC. The rivalry may be cooling down since their consecutive AFC Championship game battles in 2021 and 2022, but the quarterback matchup remains the main attraction.

The first two weeks of the season, when the Chiefs host conference rivals from the AFC North, will be the ultimate measuring stick for the two-time defending Super Bowl champions. The rest of the Chiefs’ regular season schedule and the other 29 NFL teams will be revealed Wednesday night as the anticipation for a new football season begins.

Chiefs to host Ravens in 2024 NFL season opener

The Kansas City Chiefs’ opponent for the 2024 NFL season kickoff has been released.

According to the team, the Chiefs will host the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday, Sept. 5. As the reigning Super Bowl champions, they once again get the first game of the season to celebrate, and they’ll do so against a rival. The Patrick Mahomes-Lamar Jackson duel is front and center again.

The Ravens were the top seed in the AFC playoffs last year but fell to the Chiefs in Baltimore 17-10 in the AFC championship game, spoiling an achievement-filled season for Jackson, who would go on to be named league MVP.

The Chiefs will be seeking a better performance on banner night than their disappointing outing against the Detroit Lions a year ago. Kansas City started last season’s game without Chris Jones because of a contract holdout and Travis Kelce because of an injury in practice. The Lions capitalized on the Chiefs’ mistakes, winning at Arrowhead Stadium 21-20.
