NFL Christmas Games on Netflix

For the second consecutive year, the NFL will play two games on Netflix.

The first game features an NFC East battle between the Dallas Cowboys (6-8-1) and Washington Commanders (4-11). Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland.

Ian Eagle, Nate Burleson, and Matt Ryan will be on the call, with Sara Walsh and Melanie Collins reporting from the sidelines.

Netflix will have a special pregame show beginning at 11 a.m. ET. Kay Adams, Austin Ekeler, Michael Irvin, and Devin McCourty will be on the scene in Washington, D.C., for the pregame.

Comedians Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura will be the special guests on the broadcast.

The second game of the day pits the Detroit Lions (8-7) against the Minnesota Vikings (7-8). The game kicks off at 4:30 p.m. ET at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Noah Eagle and Drew Brees will be in the booth, while AJ Ross and Dianna Russini report from the sidelines.

The second pregame show of the day starts at 4 p.m. ET. Jamie Erdahl, Manti Te’o, and Brandon Marshall will be on the scene in Minneapolis, with WWE superstar Seth Rollins serving as the special guest.

Netflix starts the day off with Kelly Clarkson singing Underneath the Tree.

Last year, the second game’s halftime show featured Beyoncé. This year, Snoop Dogg is bringing the party to Minneapolis.

Snoop’s Holiday Halftime Party features performances from Snoop Dogg, Lainey Wilson, the three voices — EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami — of HUNTR/X in KPop Demon Hunters, and more surprise guests.

Prime Video Nightcap

The nightcap features an AFC West showdown between the Denver Broncos (12-3) and the Kansas City Chiefs (6-9).

The game will be part of Prime Video’s Thursday Night Football presentation. Al Michaels, Kirk Herbstreit, and Kaylee Hartung will be on the call, which starts at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video.

The game will be played at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.

Three weeks ago, this game would have been a must-see matchup. The Chiefs’ injuries, particularly Patrick Mahomes, have now favored the Broncos by 13.5 points.

Chiefs third-string quarterback Chris Oladokun will start in place of the injured Mahomes and Gardner Minshew.
