The Detroit Lions’ season may be over the Week 16 isn’t quite done yet. The NFL boldly scheduled two games on Christmas morning, and although they aren’t exactly the most exciting of matchups, they could be used as an effective distraction to the stresses that the holidays bring.

Monday night kicks off with a matchup between the Steelers and Texans. Pittsburgh is trying to keep pace with the Patriots for a chance at the No. 1 seed in the AFC. A win and both teams are tied at 12-3—although the Patriots hold the tiebreaker thanks to their thrilling head-to-head win last week.
