We are still 26 days away from the Kansas City Chiefs opening the 2023 NFL season against the Detroit Lions. In the meantime, the Chiefs will play three preseason games, starting on Sunday at noon against the New Orleans Saints in Caesars Superdome.
The last time the Chiefs entered a season as the reigning Super Bowl champions, they didn't have a preseason to gear up for the title defense; the COVID pandemic forced the league to cancel all exhibition games in 2020.
That team went 14-2, built around the theme of "run it back," but this year's Chiefs have a more significant roster turnover than 2020.
