Everyone on Planet Earth is stoked to see the Ravens vs. Chiefs in NFL's season opener

On the Monday morning of NFL schedule week—the week in which we finally see the full regular-season schedule unveiled for the 2024 season—it made sense that a juicy leak would drop early to get us talking. It turned Adam Schefter would deliver the goods with the news that the Kansas City Chiefs would host the Baltimore Ravens to start the year.

To be specific, the Chiefs will host the Ravens in a rematch of last year's AFC Conference Championship game at Arrowhead on Thursday, September 5.

The NFL's decision to put the Ravens and Chiefs out in front of the regular season schedule is drawing rave reviews on social media.

From the moment the game was announced, the buzz took over. Last year's best overall team in the regular season, the one that sat atop most power rankings for the year, will be visiting the team that burst their bubble. It's a big game for two teams with plans to contend who are also counting on young players to grow into important roles.

Social media didn't fail to disappoint following Schefter's post. Fans were stoked to hear about the opener with such a high-stakes affair kicking off the season.

For both the Ravens and Chiefs, it will be a true test of what these teams are made of early and fans were also eager to point that out.

The Ravens just so happened to have added the NFL's most decorated running back of the last decade this offseason in Derrick Henry, so some fans are looking forward to seeing how that addition plays out versus K.C.

As it turns out, this matchup should involve just a bit more talent than the last time these two opened the NFL season.

And then there's Return of Tuckergate. Let's not forget that Justin Tucker's attempt to warm up in the Chiefs' end zone became a pre-game argument involving Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. Gotta wonder if Tucker will try it again.

And no one knows how to fire us up like Baldy! We're ready! Amen!
