The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2024 schedule has been called a lot of things. Chiefly among them are variations on the word brutal. A big part of that hard stretch surrounds Christmas. The Steelers host the Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday, December 25th just after traveling to Baltimore to play the Ravens on Saturday, December 21st.
The Ravens will also be playing against the Houston Texans on Christmas Day. The Texans play on the previous Saturday as well, facing off against the Chiefs. It’s a unique situation that required a lot of work going into the planning phase. But how did the NFL arrive at this arrangement?
