The NFL is attempting to compete with the NBA on Christmas Day, and what better way to do that than to put the defending champions on national TV that day?
The league announced Tuesday that the Los Angeles Rams and Denver Broncos will square off on Christmas this year, a Week 16 matchup at SoFi Stadium. Kickoff will be at 1:30 p.m. PT and will be broadcast on CBS, Paramount+ and Nickelodeon.
The NFL will have one other afternoon game and a prime-time matchup on Christmas, which falls on a Sunday. This will be the first time the league has three games scheduled on Christmas, though the other two matchups have not yet been announced.
Christmas came early.
