The 2024 NFL season opener between the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens drew an average of 28.9 million viewers, making it the most-watched regular-season opener in NFL history. The audience peaked at 33 million viewers in the second quarter despite a delayed start due to inclement weather. The game ended dramatically with Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson connecting with tight end Isaiah Likely in the end zone as time expired, but the touchdown was overturned upon review, giving the Chiefs a 27-20 victory. This game was a rematch of last year's AFC Championship, adding to its high stakes and viewership. Post-game reactions included Ravens' Likely criticizing the Chiefs and Stephen A. Smith expressing his disappointment in the Ravens' performance. The Chiefs' victory maintains their strong start to the season, while the Ravens look ahead to potentially bounce back.
