There’s no more waiting. The 2024 NFL season is officially upon us. And what better way to ring in the new year than with the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, who will play host to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night? Football fans are in for a treat as the race for the next Lombardi gets underway.
