The NFL is back, and not a moment too soon for a season that features epic storylines galore. Will Patrick Mahomes lead the Chiefs to their fourth Super Bowl in five years? Can Aaron Rodgers make the Jets a serious contender? Will new Denver head coach Sean Payton lead a Broncos turnaround? We can’t wait to find out.
