Along with the Eagles game, the most anticipated matchups are when the Chiefs face the Dolphins, Bengals, Bills, Bears, Jets and Jaguars along with their AFC division rivals.
The Dolphins host an array of weapons on both sides of the ball led by Hill, who has been jokingly taunting his former team and some former teammates all year.
The Bengals and the Bills have become AFC rivals of the Chiefs because of their recent run-ins in the regular season and playoffs, and all of the teams and fanbases involved feel that way.
The Bears have a budding star in quarterback Justin Fields, who will have his first duel with Patrick Mahomes. Chicago’s general manager Ryan Poles is a former Chiefs scout and front office executive that has made some impressive moves in his short time in the Windy City.
The Jets matchup will be the first time that Mahomes has faced star QB Aaron Rodgers in a game that will be a sort of passing of the torch from the last generation’s top quarterback to this generation’s top quarterback.
The Jaguars are led by head coach Doug Pederson and a number of Jags personnel who used to work for the Chiefs and Andy Reid. The teams also met in the AFC Divisional Round of the playoffs last season.
Single-game tickets and group tickets go on sale on Friday. They can be purchased on the Chiefs website.
