There haven’t been many NFL games played on Christmas Day, and even fewer have kicked off on Friday. But per a report from Jeff Duncan of The Athletic, the New Orleans Saints will accomplish both feats against the Minnesota Vikings in 2020.
Duncan reports that the Saints and Vikings will play again — their fifth meeting since the 2017 season-opener, including the playoffs (and excepting a 2019 preseason game) — on Dec. 25, 2020. Traditionally, the NFL limits its games to Sunday, Monday, and Thursday kickoffs, except for a few select Saturday games after the college football season concludes.
