Just sit, baby.
Stock up the mini-fridge, fire up the big screen, put the phone on "Do Not Disturb" and send the family away on a Sunday drive. The NFL is back. Week 1 is here, and the 2023 season is starting off scorching hot.
The Week 1 slate is loaded with divisional matchups, rivalries and storylines that should reverberate through the 2023 season, and it all starts on "Thursday Night Football."
The Chiefs set out to defend their Super Bowl 57 victory against a surprising Week 1 opponent. Dan Campbell's Lions are poised for a leap in 2023 after a strong finish to their 2022 season that saw them finish just a game out of a playoff spot. The Lions have an opportunity to claim their territory come "Thursday Night Football" with an upset over the defending champs.

The weekend's matchups are sealed with an old-school NFC rivalry, with the Giants defending home turf against the Cowboys on "Sunday Night Football."
The NFL is back with a vengeance come Sept. 8. Plan accordingly.
