A report recently indicated that the Kansas City Chiefs were hopeful to lock down Christmas Day, similar to the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions annually playing on Thanksgiving.
Kansas City has played a game on Christmas Day in each of the last two seasons.
In 2023, the Chiefs lost 20-14 to the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium. It famously became a late turning point for a club that went on to win the Super Bowl championship.
In 2024, the Chiefs traveled to play the Pittsburgh Steelers, which was a better result for Kansas City.
