Less than 48 hours remain until the NFL regular season officially kicks off. Yes, you read that correctly. Opening Night, which is usually taken for granted after the end of preseason, has seemed anything but during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Thursday night at 8:20 ET, though, the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texas will open what promises to be one of the most interesting and unpredictable seasons we've seen.
Games will be played in front of few fans (if any), teams will enter the regular season without a preseason game under their belts, and it seems possible at least a few players will miss games because of the virus.
