The Kansas City Chiefs are set to host the Baltimore Ravens on a blockbuster opening night and will appear on five prime time games during the season.

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are set to face their two biggest rivals in the first two weeks to open their 2024 season account.

Kansas City has the chance to start their ‘three-peat’ campaign in epic style and secure two early victories against their biggest AFC threats.

Moreover, they are scheduled to have an early bye in Week 6, meaning they will play 12 game weeks in succession.

Chiefs become the first franchise to play on six separate days of the week since 1927

Additionally, the Chiefs are set to become the first team to play on six separate days of the week since 1927. The last team to do so was the New York Yankees, which was briefly an American football franchise before their extinction.

Since the Chiefs have dominated the league, winning three Super Bowl rings in five years, their image and global pull have flourished.

Furthermore, the public celebrity relationship between the Chiefs superstar Travis Kelce and singer-songwriter Taylor Swift has seen the Chiefs’ brand soar.

The franchise is in demand and it even had reporter Ari Meirov asking the NFL’s Senior Director of Broadcasting if the Chiefs are now America’s Team.

Adam Schefter speaks to Mike North and he admits the Chiefs are their ‘bell cow’

NFL Insider Adam Schefter sat down and spoke to NFL Vice President of Broadcast Planning Mike North and spoke about the Chiefs’ schedule.

The senior NFL figure said that the Chiefs have become their ‘bell cow’, because of their demand and the viewing figures that they can pull.

Ultimately, the greater the TV figures the more money that is generated – the Chiefs are a money-making machine in 2024.

North admitted in the interview: “We maybe gave the Chiefs the hardest schedule in the league. I suspect they’re gonna be there come playoff time, right?”

“There are so many Chiefs games [you can put on prime time]. There are a lot of other really good teams, and great stars, and storylines, but the Chiefs were definitely not surprised by their national television and some of the windows we decided to use them.”

The Chiefs were aware of their prime time demand before the NFL schedule releases

North suggests that the Chiefs would have been prepared to face a schedule that has them logged into play on varying days and in several prime time slots.

NFL fans demand to see Chiefs games and money talks in the broadcasting field. Their story of hunting down the ‘three-peat’ makes it an excellent narrative to follow along with.

Therefore, the fans will be able to keep a closer eye on the Chiefs’ historical campaign and watch how their story unfolds under the microscope.
