‘Tis the season to be jolly. And what better way to enjoy your Christmas than pouring a mug of hot chocolate, sitting on your couch, and watching football all day? Well, watching football on Thanksgiving is already a big tradition in America. But now it is challenged by Christmas day football. Where most people love to enjoy the holidays with their families, some brave football players will be on the field. One of those players is Aaron Rodgers.

Aaron Rodgers talks about playing on Christmas

This year on Christmas, the NFL will host two games. The first one will be Cleveland Browns vs Green Bay Packers, which will kick off at 4:30 p.m. ET. Second will be Indianapolis Colts vs Arizona Cardinals kicking off at 8:15 p.m. ET. The NFL Network will broadcast both the games.

Usually, we can see the NBA dominating the Holiday. But this year Christmas is on a Saturday, and the NFL usually hosts its games on weekends. Since 2017, this is the first doubleheader by the NFL. Last year on Christmas day, The Minnesota Vikings faced the New Orleans Saints. 

It is not easy being an NFL player. With the physical tasks on the field, sometimes you also have to stay away from your family. Aaron Rodgers has decided to take this in a positive way. The Green Bay Packers quarterback said, “We’re in the entertainment business,” Rodgers adds, “To entertain on Christmas is a good deal.” Rodgers is correct. On the holidays where most people are in their homes, the ratings are high. And as an entertainer, it is good to be seen at such a high capacity.
