This year, football fans will get the rare treat of three NFL Christmas games.
The league usually schedules one or two games on Christmas, depending on what day of the week it falls on. With Dec. 25 on a Thursday this year, there will be a rare tripleheader of three NFL Christmas Day games.
Football fans noticed that some clubs were wearing special candy cane patches on their jerseys for today’s games. The Denver Broncos revealed their crafty uniforms hours before kickoff against the Jacksonville Jaguars:

Another user on X/Twitter asked why the Washington Commanders were wearing a candy cane patch for Saturday’s game. Their opponent, the Philadelphia Eagles, did not have the patches.
According to CBS NFL insider Jonathan Jones, the six teams playing on the 25th are wearing the patches as a way to promote its three NFL Christmas games.
The three games on Thursday are: Commanders vs. Dallas Cowboys, Vikings vs. Detroit Lions, and Kansas City Chiefs vs. Broncos. Obviously, the league expected these games to have more significant playoff implications at the time the schedule was released.
At any rate, sports fans will have a lot of action to enjoy on Thursday: Three NFL games and five can’t-miss NBA matchups.
