The first two phases of the 2023 NFL offseason is officially behind us. After a great free agency and draft, now we look ahead to training camp. But, there is one more thing before we get there.

The NFL has done a great job of making out a year long entertainment business, and now there is something everyone looks forward to this time of year – the schedule release for the 2023 season.

We have already knows who the opponents would be for some time now, but now we figure out who they play, what date they play those teams, and if it's a primetime game or not.

Here is the full schedule:

  • Week 1: vs. Detroit Lions (Thursday, Sept. 9, 7:20pm CT)
  • Week 2: @ Jacksonville Jaguars (Sunday, Sept. 17, 12:00pm CT)
  • Week 3: vs. Chicago Bears (Sunday, Sept. 24, 3:25pm CT)
  • Week 4: @ New York Jets (Sunday, Oct. 4, 7:20pm CT)
  • Week 5: @ Minnesota Vikings (Sunday, Oct. 8, 3:25pm CT)
  • Week 6: vs. Denver Broncos (Thursday, Oct. 12, 7:20pm CT)
  • Week 7: vs. Los Angeles Chargers (Sunday, Oct. 22, 3:25pm CT)
  • Week 8: @ Denver Broncos (Sunday, Oct. 29, 3:25pm CT)
  • Week 9: @ Germany vs. Miami Dolphins (Sunday, Nov. 5, 8:30am CT)
  • Week 10: BYE WEEK
  • Week 11: vs. Philadelphia Eagles (Monday, Nov. 20, 7:15pm CT)
  • Week 12: @ Las Vegas Raiders (Sunday, Nov. 26, 3:25pm CT)
  • Week 13: @ Green Bay Packers (Sunday, Dec. 3, 7:20pm CT)
  • Week 14: vs. Buffalo Bills (Sunday, Dec. 10, 3:25pm CT)
  • Week 15: @ New England Patriots (Monday, Dec. 18, 7:15pm CT)
  • Week 16: vs. Las Vegas Raiders (Monday, Dec. 25, 12:00pm CT)
  • Week 17: vs. Cincinnati Bengals (Sunday, Dec. 31, 3:25pm CT)
  • Week 18: @ Los Angeles Chargers (Time/Date TBD)

The Kansas City Chiefs have some really good teams lined up on their 2023 schedule, and this year, I wouldn't say there is any games that are "give me" games, or free wins, I should say. Of course, this is the NFL, so you aren't really supposed to have that mindset, but I think we are all guilty of it from time-to-time.

They have several games that are on primetime TV that I think shouldn't be, and could end up getting flexed for other matchups. For example, of the seven primetime games they have, the Week 15 Monday night game against the patriots and the Week 13 Sunday night football game against the Packers could get flexed., Obviously as far as Week 18, we just won't know until we get closer.

The Chiefs find themselves playing three division opponents in three weeks before the bye week, two against the Denver Broncos. I feel like for the last few years, there has always been at least one matchup against the Broncos after the bye, and last year it was both games.

This year the Chiefs schedule looks a bit different in terms of structure. Of course, there is the Germany game, and there is also the games against every playoff opponent they have had the last two years, all but one in the second half of the season. Last year, the final stretch of the season were fairly easy opponents. Now it looks to be different.
