The 2020 NFL season is here!
The Kansas City Chiefs play host to the Houston Texans in a Thursday night matchup to kick off the league's 101st campaign, and fans couldn't have asked for a better game to get things started.
In addition to being a season opener featuring the defending Super Bowl champions, Thursday's contest is a rematch of last season's thrilling AFC Divisional Round playoff that saw the Texans take a 24-0 lead inside the opening 20 minutes — only for the Chiefs to score 41 straight points en route to a convincing 51-31 victory.
It surely stuck with the Texans having to watch the Chiefs claim the NFL's ultimate prize after having them on the ropes just weeks earlier, and now Houston has the chance to get some revenge to start the new campaign.
Here's everything you need to know about Thursday's season-opening broadcast.
