This week, instead of a Thursday Night Football game, NFL fans are getting a game on the afternoon of Christmas Day. This is one of the first Friday games in several years, and it completes the NFL’s sweep of playing at least one game on every day of the week during the 2020 season.
Today’s game features a rivalry between two NFC teams with some seriously bad blood against one another. The Minnesota Vikings need two wins and some significant help to find a path into the postseason as the conference’s seventh and final seed. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints can clinch the NFC South with a victory, which they will need to preserve any viable hope at jumping the Packers to land the top spot in the NFC playoffs.
