When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.
The NBA on Christmas Day isn't the only pro sporting event taking place on the holiday, as the NFL will have a tripleheader of games for fans to unwrap. Aaron Rodgers and Tual will dual it on when the 6-8 Packers travel to Hard Rock Stadium to take on the 8-6 Miami Dolphins in the first game of the day. Russell Wilson could make his return when the 4-10 Denver Broncos head to SoFi Stadium to take on Baker Mayfield and the 4-10 Los Angeles Rams in game 2. To cap the holiday off, Tom Brady and the 6-8 Tampa Bay Buccaneers look to steer the ship of their season when they travel to the desert to take on the Kyler Murray-less 4-10 Arizona Cardinals in the late game.
