NFL Unveils 2024 Lineup: Holiday Showdowns and Nine Playoff Rematches Streamed on Netflix
Holiday Showdowns and Nine Playoff
¡Hola, amigos y amigas! It’s time to dive into the NFL’s latest schedule release, and let me tell you, it’s buzzing with más sabor than a Navidad dinner! This year, the NFL is spicing things up with some playoff rematches that’ll have you on the edge of your seat, and – get this – they’re streaming Christmas Day‘s doubleheader on Netflix. Yes, you heard right—Netflix is diving into the live sports arena, and it’s going to be una fiesta grande!
First up, let’s unwrap the regalo of games we’re getting this Navidad. Although it’s dialing down from a triple header to just two games, the matchups are nothing short of espectacular! The defending Super Bowl champs, the Kansas City Chiefs, will be making a visit to the Pittsburgh Steelers. And if that wasn’t enough, the Baltimore Ravens are heading down south to face the Texans in Houston. ¡Qué emocionante!
And, amigos, Christmas this year falls on a Wednesday, an unusual día for football which has only happened twice since 1946. The NFL’s bold move to play on a weekday follows the huge success of last year’s holiday games. It seems like Wednesday might just be the new Friday!
Apart from shaking things up with a midweek game, the NFL is also embracing the streaming wave in full force. Beyond Netflix, they’re cozying up with other big names like Amazon’s Prime Video and Comcast/NBC‘s Peacock. Amazon will treat us to the excitement of the Las Vegas Raiders playing the Chiefs on Black Friday, while Peacock will feature the NFL’s first game in South America—imagine, amigos, the Green Bay Packers, and Philadelphia Eagles kicking off their season in São Paulo, Brazil!
But wait, the fiesta doesn’t stop there. The NFL schedule is beautifully crafted to bring us even more excitement with guaranteed playoff rematches, including all four divisional round games and both conference championships. Fans will witness these thrilling duels starting with the Annual Kickoff Game on September 5, where the Chiefs will raise their championship banner at Arrowhead Stadium against the Ravens, bringing back memories of January’s AFC Championship Game.
Rolling into the season, the champions will face off against last year’s contenders, the San Francisco 49ers, in a Week 7 Super Bowl rematch. And for those who live for the quarterback showdowns, gear up for Week 11 when Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs visit Josh Allen and the Bills, reigniting their electrifying divisional round battle.
Y no olvidemos, our beloved 49ers will rerun last season’s NFC title game against the Detroit Lions in Week 17, a perfect post-Navidad treat. More playoff rematches are on the calendar, with games like Tampa Bay/Detroit and San Francisco/Green Bay that will keep us glued to our screens.
The NFL’s International Series also expands its horizons, taking over London and Munich with games that promise global excitement. And for those festivity lovers, the Thanksgiving games will see the Bears, Giants, and Dolphins making special appearances, each adding a dash of competitiveness to our holiday cheer.
So, whether you’re a die-hard NFL fan or just here for the buen ambiente, this season promises games packed with excitement and surprises. Keep your jerseys ready and your spirits high, porque this NFL season is about to be unforgettable! ¡Vamos a disfrutar de cada juego, mi gente!
