B/R AM: NFL Is Stealing Christmas

The NFL in December said it wouldn't play on Christmas unless it landed on an NFL day.

The NFL yesterday said, 'f--- it.'

The league announced plans for two NFL games on Christmas in 2024, which falls on a Wednesday.

• It means the NFL loved the numbers from Christmas, 2023
• It's also another example of the NFL trying to own every day from September-February
  

Proof: 8 of 10 days from Dec. 21-30 will have at least one NFL game.

Plan accordingly.
