Both Ravens-Texans and Chiefs-Steelers are on Netflix this Christmas Day. Here is how to watch Chiefs-Steelers
Football fans are getting a pair of gifts this Christmas.
The NFL has scheduled a pair of AFC showdowns for Christmas Day, both of which will be streaming exclusively on Netflix. In the first game the Kansas City Chiefs will try and lock down the top spot in the AFC when they travel east to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Then in the late afternoon game, the Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens will square off in a rematch of last season’s AFC Divisional Round game. That contest will also feature a halftime performance from Houston’s own Beyoncé.
Here is how to watch the early game between the Chiefs and the Steelers, and what you need to know.
Wednesday’s first game features the 10-5 Pittsburgh Steelers hosting the 14-1 Kansas City Chiefs.
When: Wednesday, December 25, 1:00 p.m. Eastern
Where: Acrisure Stadium, Pittsburgh, PA
TV/Streaming: This game will be streamed exclusively on Netflix. Current Netflix subscribers can find the game after logging in, available currently under the “New & Popular” tab, which looks like this:

In Pittsburgh Ian Eagle will be on the call, joined by Nate Burleson and J.J. Watt. Melanie Collins and Stacey Dales will be on the sidelines.
What’s at stake: For the Chiefs, a win Wednesday would clinch the top spot in the AFC playoffs, giving Kansas City both the lone bye week on the AFC side of the playoff bracket, as well as home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs.
For Pittsburgh, while they are already in the playoffs the Steelers missed out on a chance to clinch the AFC North last week with their loss to the Baltimore Ravens. As a result, both the Ravens and the Steelers are tied with matching 10-5 records. The teams have split the season series, but the Steelers currently have the advantage in the second tiebreaker, which is conference record.
Heading into Week 17, the Steelers have a 7-3 record in the AFC, while the Ravens have a 6-4 record.
Pittsburgh will face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 18, while the Ravens will take on the Cleveland Browns, after playing the Texans on Christmas Day.
