During the final stretch of the 2024 NFL season, many felt it seemed destined that the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> would represent the AFC in the Super Bowl<\/a> against the would-be NFC Champion Detroit Lions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We know how the rest of the playoffs played out.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, the Chiefs and Lions will indeed meet on a Sunday night \u2014 but it will be in the regular season in Week 6, according to FOX Sports\u2019 Jordan Schultz<\/a>. The game will kick off on NBC at 7:20 p.m.<\/p>\n

At the time of this writing, the Chiefs are reported to open in Brazil against the Los Angeles Chargers<\/a>, followed by a Super Bowl rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> in Week 2.<\/p>\n

Just four weeks later, it will be Chiefs-Lions on Sunday night at Arrowhead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During the final stretch of the 2024 NFL season, many felt it seemed destined that the Kansas City…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":50491,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2026],"tags":[921,346,7,29,723,15650,147,6,7756,918,144,151,5432,8403,3667,1549],"class_list":{"0":"post-50490","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-arrowhead","9":"tag-chiefs","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-front-page","12":"tag-in","13":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs-schedule","14":"tag-lions","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-nfl-schedule","17":"tag-night","18":"tag-on","19":"tag-pride","20":"tag-release","21":"tag-schedule","22":"tag-sunday","23":"tag-week"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114508561691005286","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50490"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50490\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
