The lineup makes Dallas the team with the most Christmas Day appearances, as this is their sixth. America's Team has a 2-3 record on the holiday. Their game against Washington comes after they host the Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day.
The Lions-Vikings matchup will feature a high-profile receiver showdown as Detroit's Amon-Ra St. Brown goes head-to-head with Minnesota's Justin Jefferson. Jared Goff and Co. are coming off a season where they fell in the divisional round to Washington despite being favorites to win the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Minnesota lost in the wild-card round to the Los Angeles Rams after a near-perfect 14-3 season.
After getting their three-peat hopes demolished by the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl, Kansas City will be featured on both Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. The Broncos broke an eight-year playoff drought this past season before losing to the Buffalo Bills in the wild card.
