Merry Christmas! The NFL makes its live Netflix debut as the Pittsburgh Steelers host the Kansas City Chiefs on the streaming goliath.
It’s a new holiday tradition as the NFL enters its Netflix Christmas era. For the next three years, Netflix will air at least one Christmas Day game as part of the NFL’s three-season deal with the streamer and you better believe they’re pulling out all the stops. Not only do we have two marquee games — the Steelers/Chiefs matchup and the Houston Texans hosting the Baltimore Ravens — but Beyonce will be the halftime performer of the Texans/Ravens game. Plus, Mariah Carey will start the day with a taped performance of “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”
