The NFL's regular-season opener in 2019 could well be a conference championship game rematch, no matter what happens in Super Bowl LIII.
If the Rams win the Super Bowl, they could host the Saints in the 2019 Kickoff game, a league source told ESPN. And if the Patriots win on Sunday, they could host the Chiefs in the opener, according to the source.
There also are other options for the NFL to consider -- the Seahawks and Bears as potential opponents for the Rams, and the Steelers, Cowboys and Browns for the Patriots.
