Don’t lose that remote among all your crumpled wrapping paper and empty boxes on Christmas Day, because if you want to watch two key NFL games, you’re going to have to call up a new channel. Netflix is plunging headlong into the live-streaming sports business, broadcasting two NFL games on Christmas Day.
The NFL gifted Netflix two playoff-implication games: Kansas City at Pittsburgh at 1 p.m. ET, and Baltimore at Houston at 4:30 p.m. ET. An entire sleighful of analysts and commentators will take part in the two-game extravaganza. And because too much is never enough at Christmastime, the second game will feature a halftime performance from Beyonce.
