GREEN BAY – The Green Bay Packers are 6-1 playing football on Christmas Eve. The Carolina Panthers, on the other hand, have a 2-12 record playing football any day of the week in 2023.
Attendance at Sunday's Panthers-Atlanta Falcons in Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, was embarrassingly low for an NFL game, but torrential rains along the East Coast were partially responsible. Rain should not be an issue Sunday, though, as the National Weather Service predicted partly sunny skies with a high near 57.
Playing at noon on Christmas Eve means a lot of Packers fans can get home for Christmas, especially those living in the south and east.
