The league’s official Twitter account announced that the Denver Broncos and the Los Angeles Rams will face off on December 25 at 4:30 p.m. ET.
The game will be aired on CBS and Nickelodeon.
As the family gathers for Christmas dinner, the NFL will provide quality entertainment courtesy of two championship contenders.
Super Bowl LVII Preview?
Barring any injuries and slumps, the Broncos and the Rams could represent their respective conferences in the Super Bowl.
The Broncos traded for Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson, a player who can elevate their offense.
Denver has a talented offensive unit with Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon III in the backfield.
Their receiving corps of Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton, and Tim Patrick could leave defenders behind.
Broncos fans expect Wilson to bring this unit to its full potential.
Nathaniel Hackett’s system will also make them scary on that side of the ball.
Meanwhile, the Rams are not resting on their laurels after winning Super Bowl LVI.
After re-signing Matthew Stafford to a four-year extension, they brought in Allen Robinson II after letting Robert Woods go.
Their defense also became more menacing with Bobby Wagner‘s absence.
His inclusion to the Rams gives them an All-Pro in all levels of defense.
Three-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald leads the push upfront while Jalen Ramsey anchors their pass defense.
Broncos-Rams is certainly a thrilling matchup that is worth watching.
