After a busy Friday, August 15 will bring another slate of high-intensity NFL games as the 2026 preseason reaches the final stretch of Week 1. Among them, all eyes will be on the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Rams matchup at Arrowhead Stadium. No, Patrick Mahomes might not be on your TV screen in a Chiefs uniform this weekend. Still, the game should offer plenty to watch, especially with the two teams meeting for the first time in nearly four years.
