KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs fans are returning to Arrowhead Stadium to support their team in its preseason opener against the Los Angeles Rams.
The Chiefs vs. Rams game is set to kick off at 3 p.m. Saturday in Kansas City, Missouri.
Earlier this week, 14-year NFL veteran Travis Kelce spoke with the media at training camp in St. Joseph about the season ahead and quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
"Everybody knows I love that guy, he's a brother to me," Kelce said. "I'm so proud of the way he handled adversity from last year."

On Thursday, head coach Andy Reid revealed the team's quarterback plans for the preseason opener — which doesn't include putting Mahomes on the field.
Backup quarterback Justin Fields will start the game off, followed by Garrett Nussmeier and Chris Oladokun.
Saturday's game will be a hot and humid one for fans, and there is a chance for storms to develop.
