The Kansas City Chiefs have been given one of the toughest starts across the league for the 2024 season and the NFL is making them do something that has not been done in nearly a century.
Chiefs Kingdom can see the 2024 NFL season dawning on the horizon but they are set to face the Baltimore Ravens on the opening day.
Moreover, the Ravens visit Arrowhead Stadium still with the bitter taste of defeat in the 2023 AFC Championship. After the Chiefs unveil their latest Super Bowl banner, revenge will be the only thing on the Ravens’ minds.
The Chiefs are forced to host the Bengals after welcoming an AFC contender before
The weeks after, the Chiefs must welcome their arch nemesis Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. If the Chiefs are not switched on from minute one, they could find themselves with two quick-fire losses on their record to start the season.
However, this could be a fantastic chance to tally two victories against their biggest AFC threats. In our prediction, we see the Chiefs securing two wins before heading on the road to the Atlanta Falcons.
The schedule does not get much easier and the NFL is seemingly stacking the odds against the Chiefs.
Furthermore, their schedule becomes more congested with the introduction of the Christmas Day game against the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Black Friday divisional clash against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Chiefs become the first teams since 1927 to play on six different days across the season
Therefore, the Chiefs are the first teams to play on every day of the week, except Tuesday, since 1927.
The last team to facilitate the same schedule as the Chiefs was the New York Yankees!
The Yankees were a shortlived American Football team from 1926-1929 and they played their games at the Yankee Stadium alongside the baseball team. The team was forced into extinction after only three years.
Yet, they were the last American Football franchise to play on six days of the week across the season, which the Chiefs must do in 2024.
The NFL has made their three-peat chances even more difficult
If the Chiefs thought the three-peat alone was hard, the NFL have made the task even harder.
Eight franchises have attempted the three-peat in the Super Bowl era and not one team has made it back to the Super Bowl in their effort.
