Someone you\u2019ve interacted with on social media might even swear off watching Kansas City in prime time for fear that a few seconds of the broadcast may feature a high-profile romantic partner of a certain tight end. Someone somewhere still clings to anger over perceived biased officiating, vowing to never tune in to the Chiefs \u2014 or possibly football in general \u2014 again.<\/p>\n<p id=\"IzdbTq\">The NFL appears ready to call the bluff of its most angry clients.<\/p>\n<p>Via early schedule leaks, we have known that the Chiefs would be visiting the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0on Thanksgiving and hosting the\u00a0Denver Broncos\u00a0on Christmas night. The first third of the season, however, will feature Kansas City early and often.<\/p>\n<p>In Week 1, the Chiefs will face the\u00a0Los Angeles Chargers\u00a0in Brazil on a Friday night. The event, which will air for free on\u00a0YouTube, will almost certainly set a record for the most-streamed live event.<\/p>\n<p>Kansas City will then appear on two of the first six\u00a0Sunday Night Football\u00a0telecasts on\u00a0NBC\u00a0\u2014 traveling to face the\u00a0New York Giants\u00a0in Week 3 while hosting the\u00a0Detroit Lions\u00a0in Week 6. The Chiefs will also play a road game against the\u00a0Jacksonville Jaguars\u00a0on\u00a0ESPN\u2019s Week 5 edition of\u00a0Monday Night Football.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"e-image\"><span class=\"e-image__inner\"><span class=\"e-image__image \" data-original=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25994865\/2198620574.jpg\"><picture class=\"c-picture\" data-cid=\"site\/picture_element-1747293568_606_271551\" data-cdata=\"{&quot;asset_id&quot;:25994865,&quot;ratio&quot;:&quot;*&quot;}\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/-c_Ux2zvG8MCYpcoxJWSTj0ugi8=\/0x0:3514x2315\/320x0\/filters:focal(0x0:3514x2315):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25994865\/2198620574.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/k641ht85_42wAOrsJcQwVGNYznk=\/0x0:3514x2315\/520x0\/filters:focal(0x0:3514x2315):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25994865\/2198620574.jpg 520w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/2IeKLDiTNeXN8RO9Nzm25j5pg7A=\/0x0:3514x2315\/720x0\/filters:focal(0x0:3514x2315):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25994865\/2198620574.jpg 720w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/Ko8EW5--gB9rsim7WDyZObvuDJg=\/0x0:3514x2315\/920x0\/filters:focal(0x0:3514x2315):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25994865\/2198620574.jpg 920w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/r9omrkIvGw9hbFWyNgZkZPFF03k=\/0x0:3514x2315\/1120x0\/filters:focal(0x0:3514x2315):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25994865\/2198620574.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/Lzp3fVcxyQ8KtgywnsIjIgFiTxk=\/0x0:3514x2315\/1320x0\/filters:focal(0x0:3514x2315):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25994865\/2198620574.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/2hAqKt8auwyEU7aV8W_cdW6kr6A=\/0x0:3514x2315\/1520x0\/filters:focal(0x0:3514x2315):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25994865\/2198620574.jpg 1520w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/UybWWf4nrMAxvYFzRbeN9GraQzw=\/0x0:3514x2315\/1720x0\/filters:focal(0x0:3514x2315):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25994865\/2198620574.jpg 1720w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/WaGJKYUJg0tOwaBtBp3TDCCj93w=\/0x0:3514x2315\/1920x0\/filters:focal(0x0:3514x2315):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25994865\/2198620574.jpg 1920w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1221px) 846px, (min-width: 880px) calc(100vw -
