The Kansas City Chiefs won't face division rival and the defending Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos till the end of November, but they'll have plenty to keep them busy until then.

The Chiefs begin the 2016 regular season at home with a matchup against the San Diego Chargers before going on the road to face J.J. Watt and the Houston Texans in Week 2. The Chiefs have no Monday night games but do play on Thursday night once -- Dec. 8 at home against Oakland -- and Sunday night twice as the schedule currently stands: in Week 4 on the road against the Steelers and Week 16 at home against Denver. They close out the season on the road against the Chargers.
