Christmas comes early for NFL fans with an 11-game slate on Christmas Eve! Amid frigid temperatures across the country, the Seahawks hope to keep their playoff hopes alive against the heavily favored Chiefs in Kansas City, while the Bills take on the Bears in the Windy City and the Vikings host the Giants in another matchup with big postseason implications.
Later, Gardner Minshew attempts to step up in place of the injured Jalen Hurts and lead the Eagles to an NFC East-clinching win over the Cowboys in Dallas before the Raiders take on the Steelers to mark the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception — and celebrate the life of the late Franco Harris.
