The entire NFL schedule was released Thursday night and the opening game to the 2020 NFL season was announced.
The defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs will host Kickoff 2020 inside Arrowhead Stadium as they welcome the Houston Texans. These two teams faced off in the 2019 playoffs, a game that saw the Chiefs storm back after being down 24-0 to eventually win 51-31.
Twitter was not so shockingly divided on this one.

And then, of course, is the reminder that both Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson were selected after Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. Twitter never forgets.
