It's a big first, and one more card in the league's media arsenal: the NFL is coming to Netflix!
And not at any time, since the streaming giant has recovered the two Christmas matches. Meetings which will therefore have no competition this December 25. Better still, these matches are at a very affordable time in France, and the posters are superb!
The AFC conference is in the spotlight, with four of its teams, all of which we should find in the playoffs in January!
Steelers – Chiefs: kickoff Sunday at 7 p.m.
Playoffs atmosphere for the first meeting of the evening. The Chiefs are already qualified for the final stages, during which they will try to win a third title in a row, which has never been done in the NFL.
But before thinking about that, we will have to get rid of a Steelers defense that is among the best in the league. Not easy for Patrick Mahomes and his attack who have suffered enormously since the start of the year. TJ Watt or Patrick Mahomes? The duel promises.
Especially since Kansas City won't really have any margin. With Russell Wilson, Pittsburgh has shown that they can score enough points this year.
Texans – Ravens: kickoff Sunday at 10:30 p.m.
The Texans want to take a step forward this year and play in the big leagues? Perfect, this is a monumental test. The Ravens have one of the most terrifying offenses in the league, with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry. The first is the reigning MVP. The second is a steamroller. How can the Texans stop them? Difficult. In any case, we will have to at least slow them down.
And we will also have to better protect CJ Stroud, widely exposed this year with more than forty sacks conceded.
Baltimore is the favorite in this meeting. But again, with a taste of the playoffs, anything is possible.
Already NFL documentaries on Netflix
Netflix is not going to completely discover the NFL this December 25. The platform already offers documentaries related to American football. In 2023, she proposed “Quarterback”, a documentary series which followed several… quarterbacks.
Last summer, it was the turn of “Receiver,” which followed Davante Adams, Justin Jefferson, George Kittle, Deebo Samuel and Amon-Ra St. Brown.
