What to look out for with the start of the NFL season

The 2023 NFL regular season is set to kick off on 7th September, with defending champions, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs set to take on a rejuvenated Lions roster under QB Jared Goff, at their home ground Arrowhead Stadium. With the start of the season, there will be a lot on the line for the defending champions, as the Chiefs will look to become the first franchise to repeat lifting the Lombardi Trophy since Tom Brady and the Patriots did it in the 2004-2005 season.

Apart from Mahomes and co., with an exciting batch of rookies coming into the league, alongside old faces in fresh uniforms (who else but Aaron Rodgers), and the first season in over two decades not to feature Tom Brady, the 2023-24 NFL season is set to be filled with intrigue. With no absolute title favorites, and more than a dozen teams in the fight to steal the throne of champions, we can’t wait for opening day to finally kick off.
