Five years ago, when Christmas landed on a Sunday, the NFL staged a Christmas Night game at Lambeau Field, between the Bears and Packers.
This year, with Christmas on a Sunday again, the NFL will play twice as many games.
The new schedule has the Broncos visiting the Chiefs on Christmas night at 8:30 p.m. ET, and the Steelers hosting the Ravens at 4:30 p.m. ET.
The early game will be televised on NFL Network, the late game will be on NBC.
It’s a direct shot at the NBA, which has had a hammerlock on Christmas Day for years.
