The Kansas City Chiefs are the darlings of the NFL schedule once again, and the team the league is banking on to turn in huge ratings. With the NFL schedule being unveiled this week, the Chiefs will be featured in seven prime-time games -- five in the first eight weeks of the season.

The NFL is reportedly hoping its decision to schedule a Thanksgiving Day game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys makes history this year.

Speaking on the Ross Tucker Football Podcast yesterday, schedule creator Mike North, the NFL’s VP of Broadcast Planning, said he is hoping the league can shatter records, and teased the prospect of Taylor Swift performing the national anthem.
