The Chiefs are looking to start their three-game winning streak with a solid win over the Ravens, but will be without a running back after Clyde Edwards-Helaire was placed on the bench. Meanwhile, the Ravens will be looking to prove themselves after a 17-10 loss to Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the rest of the Chiefs in February. The NFL’s opening game is scheduled for tonight, September 5, starting at 8:20 PM ET on NBC (and Telemundo) and streaming live on Peacock.
