The NFL season is here! Sadly, the kickoff game is hosted by the New England Patriots, which signifies that they were the Super Bowl winners from last year, but, hey, it is meaningful football, and maybe this is the start of the downfall of the Patriots’ dynasty. Can the Kansas City Chiefs give the Patriots a loss to start 2017?

While we will all be rooting for Kansas City tonight, just being able to sit back and watch football - and know it should be good football throughout all four quarters - is a great feeling. How can you watch the game? Well, of course we have everything you need to know.
