Extra: How The NFL Became A 'Monster' ... And America's Favorite Sport.

The NFL season has kicked off, and the reigning champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, are off to a great start as they began their run as a Super Bowl three-peat with a dramatic victory this Thursday night.

Sportswriter and bestselling author Ian O’Connor joined host FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony before the NFL’s season opener to discuss the growing popularity of football. The Chiefs' dynasty and the other storylines expected to dominate the discussion this 2024 season.

O’Connor also discussed his new book, "Out Of The Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers," which examines the New York Jets quarterback’s career and complicated public image.

We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.

This week on the FOX News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Ian O’Conner and get more of his take on the NFL, Aaron Rodgers, and who he thinks will meet in the Super Bowl at the end of the season.
