Next, the Chiefs took the stage for their fifth opening day appearance in six years, bringing their signature energy to the festivities.
In addition to the energy they brought to the stadium, the Chiefs endured some boos as the back-to-back Super Bowl champions enter Super Bowl LIX as the fan-rated underdog.

Ochocinco kept the tough questions coming, while Cooper Manning, dressed in a band outfit, took the stage alongside Travis Kelce. The media queries had the Chiefs laughing and pondering things they hadn't before.

A highlight of the night came from Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston, who hyped up the crowd by throwing some "W" cookies while playing the role of correspondent for the evening.
At one point, Winston put Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith on the spot with some hard-hitting questions. He also asked Saquon Barkley where he should sign in free agency, to which Barkley simply responded, "New York."
