The Dallas Cowboys will kick off their 2024 season against the Cleveland Browns on Week 1. This game will also mark the debut of Tom Brady as FOX Sports’ lead NFL analyst. The matchup will be aired on America’s Game of the Week on FOX, with Brady joining Kevin Burkhardt in the broadcast booth. Brady, considered the greatest NFL player of all time, holds numerous records in his 23-year career. The Cowboys and Browns both had strong regular seasons but suffered disappointing playoff losses.
The 2024 season is crucial for the Cowboys’ stars, including quarterback Dak Prescott, while the Browns made a surprising playoff run in 2023.
The Kansas City Chiefs will open their attempt at a three-peat by hosting the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL’s prime-time season opener on Thursday, September 5. This game is a rematch of last season’s AFC Championship Game, which the Chiefs won 17-10 before going on to win Super Bowl LVIII.
The matchup will feature two of the game’s top quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. Mahomes has had the upper hand in their previous encounters with a 4-1 record against Jackson. The Ravens have not won at Arrowhead Stadium since 2012.
An AFC Championship rematch to kick off Week 1. Doesn't get better than this 😮💨

The full NFL regular-season schedule will be released on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET.
The Chiefs have previously played in the Thursday night opener at Arrowhead Stadium twice, winning against the Houston Texans in 2020 and losing to the Detroit Lions in 2023. The Ravens, on the other hand, lost their only previous Kickoff Game appearance in 2013.
The defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs are favored by 2.5 points in the opener against the Ravens, according to ESPN BET. The Chiefs are aiming for an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl title this season. They have star players like Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Chris Jones. Meanwhile, the Ravens, led by MVP Lamar Jackson, had the best record in the NFL last season but fell short in the AFC playoffs.
