The 2023 NFL season kicked off with a bang as the Detroit Lions faced the Kansas City Chiefs. It was the start of 272 regular-season games this year, and this game was a real thriller.
In the end, Patrick Mahomes, the reigning NFL MVP, couldn’t lead the Chiefs to a comeback win. The Chiefs’ receiving team had a tough night and struggled when it mattered most.
On the other hand, the Detroit Lions, who had been on the rise, took advantage of the Chiefs’ struggles. They held strong in the second half and pulled off a surprising upset, winning 21-20.
