Beyoncé to perform at halftime for NFL Christmas Day game on Netflix
Beyoncé will perform in her hometown of Houston during an NFL Christmas Day game streaming on Netflix.
The NFL Christmas action continues into the evening with the Houston Texans (9-6) squaring off against the Baltimore Ravens (10-5) at NRG Stadium in Houston. By the time this AFC clash kicks off, the gifts should be unwrapped and this tasty matchup loaded with star power should help curb your desire to eat the entire plate of cookies for dessert.
The Texans have claimed the AFC South title for the second consecutive season. The offense led by C.J. Stroud, Nico Collins and Joe Mixon will look to build on their momentum with playoffs just two weeks away. Conversely, the Ravens are battling in the AFC playoff picture and are eyeing another deep run in January.
This will be a rematch of the 2023 divisional round matchup where the Ravens dominated their way to a 34-10 win at home.
The reigning MVP, Lamar Jackson, is always must-see TV. His teammate Derrick Henry in the backfield has combined one of the most dynamic pairings of offensive weapons the NFL has ever seen. These teams could be on a collision course to meet for the second consecutive year in the playoffs next month. Houston will need to adjust to life without another top receiver quickly. They face a short turnaround and lost Tank Dell to a devastating knee injury on Saturday.
