In anticipation of the 2024 NFL season, the countdown is officially underway as we approach the highly anticipated opening night on Thursday, September 5th. The Kansas City Chiefs will have the honor of raising their third Super Bowl banner in five seasons, as they strive to etch their name in NFL history by becoming the first team to win three consecutive Lombardi Trophies.

The Chiefs have emerged as the team to beat in the AFC, having made it to four of the last five Super Bowls and the conference title game in each of quarterback Patrick Mahomes' six seasons as the starter. Their dominance poses a challenge for every team in the league, as they strive to overthrow the reigning champions.

One of the most intriguing matchups of the 2024 NFL season includes a highly anticipated Super Bowl LVIII rematch. Last week, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson downplayed the significance of facing the Chiefs to kick off the season. Expressing his focus on the ultimate goal of making it to the Super Bowl, Jackson acknowledged the regular season encounter as a chance to stack up wins and potentially secure a playoff spot.

While Jackson may have shrugged off the importance of the opening game, the clash between the Ravens and Chiefs holds a special significance, considering their playoff encounter in the previous season. The Ravens will be determined to avenge their defeat and make a strong statement against the defending champions.

As the countdown to the 2024 NFL season inches closer to triple digits, fans and players alike await the kickoff with bated breath. The upcoming season promises to be one filled with thrilling matchups, as teams vie for a chance to dethrone the Chiefs and claim the Lombardi Trophy for themselves.

With just 100 days remaining, the Chiefs' quest for a historic three-peat begins, while the rest of the league prepares to challenge their supremacy. Only time will tell if the Chiefs can continue their reign or if another team will rise to the occasion and emerge as the new champions of the NFL.
