The National Football League (NFL) is giving fans a holiday treat this Christmas, streaming two high-stakes AFC matchups on Netflix and NFL+ on Wednesday. The doubleheader features the top contenders in the AFC, with significant implications for the playoffs.
The Chiefs are facing off against the Steelers at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, with Patrick Mahomes’ ankle injury a major concern. Despite his recent performance, Mahomes’ ability to replicate his quick passing game success will be crucial in this matchup. If he can lead Kansas City to victory, it would clinch the No. 1 seed and a bye for the Chiefs.
In contrast, the Ravens are struggling to find consistency on offense, but their potent running game led by Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry could prove decisive against the Texans at NRG Stadium in Houston. The Texans’ defense has been stout this season, but they may struggle to stop the Ravens’ run game.
Beyoncé will perform at halftime in her hometown, adding a festive touch to what promises to be an exciting mid-week day of football. Fans should plan their holiday festivities accordingly to catch these crucial matchups on Netflix and NFL+.
