It’s safe to say that NFL fans are not impressed with one particular matchup on Christmas Day.
The NFL announced that the only two Christmas Day games will be streamed live on Netflix.

It has been revealed that the NFL will have a doubleheader on December 25th.
The Christmas Day doubleheader will feature Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs playing on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first matchup of the day.
The Baltimore Ravens will face the Houston Texans in the second game.
But fans weren’t intrigued by the back-to-back Super Bowl champions facing the Steelers, who haven’t won a playoff game since 2016.
“As a Chiefs fan, this is the best Christmas present I could have asked for!” one stated on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“They will be cooked,” wrote another.
“It’s going to be a blast,” commented a third.
Both games will stream exclusively on Netflix for the first time.
