Pregame information
The Kansas City Chiefs look to avenge a 40-22 loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl 59 on Feb. 9. And they have an opportunity to do it early in the season. It’s the 54th home-opener at venerable Arrowhead Stadium, the NFL’s third-oldest facility.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes said on Wednesday that he took about seven days in February to decompress from the disappointing Super Bowl loss, then teed up the game film.
“At at the end of the day, you're going to have failures in this league,” Mahomes said. “It’s about how you respond from those failures, and that's something that's important to anyone's career. But for me, I got to continue to push to be even better, so that I don't make those same mistakes whenever I get the opportunity to again.”
