Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs will visit the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. The matchup was announced on “CBS Mornings” on Wednesday, continuing the release of select marquee games ahead of the full release of the NFL schedule.

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed both Ashton Gillotte and Jalen Royals to their respective rookie contracts.

That news will be relevant to Kansas City Chiefs fans soon. The Star has confirmed the Chiefs will be facing the Chargers in that opening-week contest on Friday, Sept. 5; Front Office Sports first reported last week that KC would be the other team in that matchup.

Still, the defending AFC champs have had a solid enough offseason, and KC fans will be pleased at the good-news note that Pro Football Focus grades the Chiefs' work at a B.

The thirst for football is so great the schedule release is a three-hour, prime-time broadcast on the NFL Network.

The NFL schedule is coming out Wednesday and these two familiar rivals will be playing each other for a fifth straight season. That's a record you might not know about.

Travis Kelce has had a weight loss transformation. The three-time Super Bowl champ, also known as Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, has revealed he lost 25 pounds in preparation for what could be his final season in the NFL.

"As long as No. 15 steps onto the field, the Chiefs are a contender," Brooks wrote. "With Rice's status up in the air, a rebuilt offensive line in front of Mahomes and fewer blue-chip players in place, the Chiefs could quickly drop down this list once the season kicks off in September."
