The Chiefs will open the 2023 NFL season when they host the Detroit Lions on Thursday, September 7th at Arrowhead Stadium. While it’s true that most Lions players will be oblivious to seeing a Super Bowl banner raised, there is one player that might be a little triggered. That would be current Lions and former Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who played in Super Bowl LVII against KC.

Gardner-Johnson was recently a guest on the Up and Adams Show and talked about what it will be like for him playing for a new team with bad memories from a tough Super Bowl loss looming in his mind.
