Just a few days ago, the 2023 NFL season officially commenced with a matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Detroit Lions.
Kansas City was the favored team heading into the game, although they were without two of their star players, Chris Jones and Travis Kelce. Despite their absence, the Chiefs managed to secure a 14-7 lead early on and appeared to have control of the game.
However, the Lions seized the momentum, fueled by a pick-six, and ultimately clinched a thrilling 21-20 victory.
The Detroit win wasn’t the only noteworthy aspect of the game. Sideline reporter Melissa Stark celebrated her impressive 26th season in style.
“What an incredible way to kick off the NFL season!” she enthusiastically shared in the caption of another photo on her Instagram.
Next on Stark’s agenda, along with her team, is a journey to East Rutherford, New Jersey, to cover the matchup between the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys.
The New York-Dallas showdown is scheduled to kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.
