Chiefs Schedule Announced

Today was the day when next season's schedule for all 32 NFL teams was announced, and fans everywhere were waiting impatiently for the results as if they were waiting on the numbers to be revealed for a multi-million dollar lottery they had just bought a ticket for. In other words, typical NFL offseason.

The Chiefs 2012 schedule is below, as retrieved from kcchiefs.com:



As you can see, the Chiefs open the season at home, and then in November play back-to-back primetime games, on on Thursday Night Football and one on Monday Night Football. The first meeting between the Chiefs and the Denver Broncos doesn't come until week 12, so Chiefs fans are going to have to wait a while to see how newly acquired Broncos quarterback, Peyton Manning, holds up against the Chiefs defense.

I will be coming out with a four-part series highlighting the storylines that exist between the Chiefs and their weekly opponents sometime in the near future. Just looking at the schedule, however, if the Chiefs can be in decent shape by the time the bye-week rolls around, then I like our playoff chances.
