Chiefs-Broncos to open 2014 season? - Kansas City Chiefs Blog - ESPN
The Royals are scheduled to be on the road the opening weekend of the NFL season and then at home the following two weekends.

The longest wait: Podolak's next Super Bowl never came | Springfield News-Leader | news-leader.com
In the early ‘80s when ESPN saturated the weekend with a marathon of highlights of Super Bowls past, Podolak would kick back at his house, watch and grin. He smiled at the thought of Stram being mic’d up (a first in NFL history), because it wasn’t such a great idea — because the Vikings later heard the whole thing and the NFL scheduled a Chiefs-Vikings season-opener in ’71.
AFC West Could Get Even Tougher Next Season For Broncos " CBS Denver
But, while the Broncos have improved, so has the rest of the AFC West. The Kansas City Chiefs are closest behind the Broncos, and there’s no questioning the effect both head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Alex Smith had on the team in 2013.
