The Kansas City Chiefs will begin their quest for back-to-back Super Bowls when they host the Houston Texans in a Thursday night matchup in Week 1 of the 2020 NFL season. The Chiefs, led by reigning Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes, are looking to become the first team since the New England Patriots in 2004 and 2005 to win consecutive Super Bowls.
The Chiefs have been one of the most successful teams in the NFL over the past two seasons, winning the AFC West title in both 2018 and 2019. They have also won the last two AFC Championship games, and their victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV was their first championship in 50 years.
The Chiefs have made several changes to their roster this offseason, most notably signing former Pro Bowl running back LeSean McCoy and trading for defensive end Frank Clark. They also added depth to their offensive line by signing guard Kelechi Osemele and tackle Mike Remmers.
The Texans, meanwhile, are coming off a disappointing 2019 season in which they finished 4-12 and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2013. They have made several changes to their roster this offseason, most notably trading for wide receiver Brandin Cooks and signing running back David Johnson.
The Chiefs and Texans will face off in a Thursday night matchup that is sure to be an exciting one. The Chiefs will be looking to prove that they are still the best team in the NFL, while the Texans will be looking to show that they can compete with the best teams in the league. It should be a great game, and one that could set the tone for the rest of the season for both teams.
