For as long as I can remember, Christmas Day has belonged to the NBA. They would usually schedule the first tip-off for 12ish pm E.T. and there would be games on the rest of the day, and into the evening thanks to a west coast game or two.
However, the NFL is a behemoth that seems intent on conquering anything and everything that they set their eyes on. Really it was only a matter of time until they decided the holiday would need to be theirs, too.
And while neither of the games were exactly thrilling, the NFL still got the numbers they wanted (and then some).
