Getty Jonathan Taylor and the Colts take on the Cardinals in primetime on Christmas Day. Fans can celebrate the Christmas holiday with several NFL and college football games on TV. After years of avoiding the holiday, the NFL started once again scheduling games on Christmas in 2020 and are continuing the new tradition this year. The Packers host the Browns on Fox at 4:30 p.m. Eastern, while the Colts square off with the Cardinals at 8:15 p.m. on NFL Network. College football fans also have an option as Georgia State takes on Ball State at 2:30 p.m. Eastern on ESPN in the Camellia Bowl. “We’re in the entertainment business… to entertain on Christmas is a good deal,” Aaron Rodgers said of the Packers’ Christmas matchup, per ABC Green Bay’s Adriana Torres. There are also plenty of NBA options for what has traditionally been one of the biggest days on the basketball calendar for marquee matchups. COVID has taken some of the luster off the games with several star players likely sidelined but there is still plenty to like on the schedule.
