NFL Thursday Night Football, Week 1: Chiefs-Patriots kicks off 2017 regular season

Tonight marks the beginning of the 2017 NFL season, and as is now tradition, last year’s Super Bowl champions open up the season at home on Thursday night. This year, that means that all eyes will be on Foxboro, Massachusetts, as the New England Patriots host the Kansas City Chiefs to begin 2017.

The two teams playing tonight were among the best in the NFL last season in the turnover battle; Kansas City went 12-4 while leading the NFL in turnover margin at +16, while New England’s 14-2 record was at least partly based on their +12 rating.
