The Kansas City Chiefs kicked off the NFL season in a rather familiar position: As defending Super Bowl champions. Nonetheless, they couldnāt live up to that hype, losing to the Detroit Lions.
The Lions were at their best from the start, not pressing or trying to do too much, and making the most of every single opportunity they had to get on the scoreboard.
