Although Christmas Day falls on a Sunday this year, the NFL has scheduled most of its Week 16 games on Saturday, when it's Christmas Eve. The NFL's vice president of broadcasting, Mike North, revealed that the league is working to have three games played across Christmas Day, a day traditionally belonging to the NBA. "We'll play one game on CBS afternoon, one game on Fox afternoon and our regular Sunday night game on NBC," he said on the Sal Sports and Stuff podcast.
