The NFL will embark on a new Christmas Day tradition starting this year. Christmas Day games have been played in the past throughout the NFL, but only on special occasions.  That will change this Wednesday,

Netflix will have one of its biggest days since the site launched in 1998 when it carries two NFL games for the first time on Christmas.

Netflix has a lot at stake on Christmas Day, and one basic job: Don’t screw up. The company will be livestreaming two National Football League games with postseason implications, aiming to cement itself as a major player in live sports to woo subscribers and advertisers.
