2018 NFL schedule: Kansas City Chiefs unveil regular season slate
By Matt Conner
The Kansas City Chiefs schedule was unveiled on Thursday night during a primetime NFL special unveiling the entire regular season slate.
After a few details leaking here and there over the last few days, NFL officially unveiled the regular season schedule for every team, including the Kansas City Chiefs, during a primetime schedule on Thursday evening.
The schedule reveal has grown from a simple press release to an entire week of conjecture and rumors followed by a slow unveiling, just like many NFL offseason events.
The most interesting game of them all is a game played in Mexico City midway through the season. That’s because the upstart Los Angeles Rams are set to meet up with the Chiefs on Monday Night Football on a neutral field that will feature two of the brightest young quarterbacks in the game in Jared Goff vs. Patrick Mahomes. Even more, it will feature Marcus Peters against the team that traded him (same with Sammy Watkins vs. the Rams).
