This year’s NFL Christmas games are expected to lack appeal, featuring matchups like Cowboys-Commanders, both out of playoff contention, and a Lions-Vikings game with a rookie quarterback. The night game showcases the Chiefs, missing star Patrick Mahomes, against a favored Broncos team. Despite PR efforts to spin viewership positively, these games may struggle to attract audiences compared to prior years. They are likely to outperform NBA games, but possibly by a narrower margin.
