Once again, the NFL is giving us a triple-header over the holidays. For the most part, the NFL switches up the schedule for Christmas Day. In some seasons there have been no games at all played on Christmas, others had just one, and others were double-headers. Needless to say, there really hasn’t been a direct pattern that the league follows. However, this is the second year in a row that the NFL has given us a triple-header. Maybe this will be the new trend moving forward.

This year on Thanksgiving, we saw Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers go on the road to upset Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions. Now on Christmas, we see several elite quarterbacks take the field in Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, and Lamar Jackson.

As you might know, Week 16  kicks off the fantasy football playoffs in many leagues. The NFL is giving us a fantastic schedule for Week 16 with Christmas Eve falling on a Sunday this year. Ultimately, we will get a Thursday Night Football matchup, a double-header on Saturday, a full slate of 10 games on Sunday, and the triple-header on Christmas to finish it off. Additionally, all of the bye weeks are finished in Week 14 this year, so everyone is playing. Needless to say, there’s a ton of football to be watched around the holiday this year.

Week 16 is capped off by a solid trio of NFL games. First, we get to see Maxx Crosby take on Travis Kelce and Mahomes in Arrowhead. Next, we will watch Saquon Barkley and the Giants go on the road to face off against the talented wide receiver duo of AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith in Philadelphia. Finally, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens fly out to California to take on Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey, and the rest of the talented 49ers squad. Overall, these are some very good matchups with plenty of future playoff teams.
