**Kansas City, MO** – This Christmas, football fans are in for a special treat. For the first time ever, the NFL is bringing a doubleheader of AFC playoff matchups to Netflix. Wednesday’s games feature four postseason-bound teams battling for crucial seeding and bragging rights.
The marquee matchup pits the Kansas City Chiefs, fighting for the coveted No. 1 seed and a playoff bye, against the Pittsburgh Steelers. All eyes will be on Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who is playing on short rest after a recent ankle injury. While he showed limited impact from the injury last week, his performance against the Steelers’ tough defense will be a key factor in determining the Chiefs’ playoff positioning. The Steelers, meanwhile, hope the return of star wide receiver George Pickens will revitalize their struggling passing attack.
The second game features an intriguing clash between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans, a potential preview of a future Wild Card Weekend matchup. The Ravens, boasting the formidable backfield duo of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, aim to continue their dominant ground game against a Texans team that has proven surprisingly strong against the run. However, the Texans will be facing this challenge significantly depleted after losing key receiver Tank Dell to a devastating knee injury. A victory for the Texans, despite their injuries, would be a major confidence boost heading into the playoffs.
Adding to the excitement, global superstar Beyoncé will perform a halftime show in her hometown.
The games will be streamed on both Netflix and NFL+, ensuring fans won’t miss a moment of this holiday football feast. The matchups are set to be thrilling affairs with significant playoff implications, making this Christmas a truly memorable one for NFL fans worldwide.
