I’m glad the NFL decided to leave the Eagles out of this ridiculousness. Physically I can’t imagine what it is going to feel like for these teams after Christmas Day.

What’s interesting is that the Saturday games are up against the College Football playoffs.
“we take great precaution and concern for our players welfare and safety”
“What if we do 3 games in 11 days? Viewership for the holidays!!”
“…I love it”
Gross that they get two short weeks in a row
So these teams will be playing two games in a few days?
AFC has it BAD if this is what they’re choosing to do. I understand playing Saturday (only 6 days between games) but then again a few days later? That’s insane. At least let them play the Giants or Raiders or something during those days lol.
Saturday to Wednesday is the same as Sunday to Thursday. I still don’t fully like the idea and am glad it’s not the eagles, but it’s not any shorter than a regular Thursday game schedule.
At least they aren’t shitty teams that are playing?
Steelers play us, ravens, and chiefs back to back to back. 3 top 5 teams in the span of 10 days. That’s disgusting, yikes man
Those should all be interesting games at least.
They need the Steelers dirty, no way around it
What if I told you during Christmas week you get to watch the same four teams play over and over again
I get that these schedules were made a while ago and it makes sense to have the same teams involved to make it fair rest-wise, but goddamn they couldn’t have diversified the teams a bit? AFC only and two AFC North teams playing “primetime” two weeks straight…
Glad the Birds aren’t a part of this, but thank God I’m not stuck with only the NBA to watch on Christmas this year.
I hate that Netflix fucked our Christmas games
Weird
My first thought looking at the logos: It’s the chocolate bar bowl!
Mars Bar vs Kit Kat
Oh Henry vs Dairy Milk
Kit Kat vs Oh Henry
Dairy Milk vs Mars Bar
Very
Broadcasting the games on Netflix only is so dumb
I think it’s also possible KC wraps up the 1 seed Saturday and doesn’t play anyone on Christmas. I could be wrong though
Get ready to not be able to watch the Netflix games.
I’m completely fine with this, can enjoy the holiday with friends and fam and not have to sweat the eagles all day. That’s why football is on Sundays bc there isn’t shit else going on and thus football gets our undivided attention, it should always be that way.
Mahomes’s Christmas wish came true and he won’t have to play with due to his high ankle sprain
At least it impacts only those teams and isn’t like they play another team with more rest. Still shitty but could be worse.
Steelers got fucked man. Eagles-Ravens-Chiefs in 11 days.
The nfl really said “pay us money and watch bad football”
Aren’t the college playoffs at the same day why can’t they take the odd days and not the nfl
This wouldn’t be great, but I do think it’s interesting they have the same four teams. I mean, I guess they had to to give them enough time between games, but it’s still neat.
Blah
I’ll be honest, the older I get the less I care about games that don’t affect the Eagles. Doubt I watch any of these.
Netflix better have upgraded their servers!
I have heard people complain about this but the actual visual makes it seem worse
Get ’em, Carson.
So fucking stupid. No reason for these teams to be playing on a goddam Wednesday. Let these players enjoy the holiday with their families.
We really get screwed on national televised games. How da hell do schedule makers in the NFL main offices just decide “hmm let’s just balance the exposure out equally amongst the teams!” They should be giving teams like us and lions and chiefs and bills twice the amount of national time blocks as the other teams. Who wants to watch a .500 Niners and .500 Seahawks duke it out in a TNF just to see them combine for a bunch of kicks and one td?
Didn’t even realize this. The scheduling crew thought they were doing something sick here
NFL putting two games on the same day as the College Football Playoff feels wrong.
At least the PA State Champions fans will get to see how bad the Steelers really are in prime time.
Do yall not recall last season? We had this x5. We played three 8 win teams within 13 day span. Went 3-0 too then you know the rest…….
OMG it took me so long to realize what was happening here. Long day! But what a weird move! The NFL is a real head scratcher..
When the Saturday games outdraw the CFB playoffs, and the Christmas games obliterate the NBA slate, the NFL will tout their ratings success in press releases.
Because people will watch the NFL no matter what, and that just gives the league the license to eventually get things to a 28-game, 2-game-a-week schedule by 2040.
Is this real?
This looks annoying and I’m not even actively playing in that league. I’m just a viewer.
This kills the Steelers
Texans schedule is nasty work. Why would they do this
I discovered a program that tracks Roger Goodell’s thoughts! Wait, that’s weird. For some reason his only thoughts are “MONEY, MONEY, GIVE ME MONEY A LOT NOW, MORE MONEY. BETTER PRODUCT? NONSENSE! MORE MONEY”
“player safety”
I literally didn’t realize they were the same teams until this post. That’s so dumb
