The NFL is capitalizing on Christmas Day falling on a Sunday this year.

The league will have three games on Dec. 25: two in the afternoon on CBS and Fox, followed by a prime-time contest on NBC.

It will be the third straight year the league has played on Christmas, but the first time three games have been played.

For Week 16, the league will have its regular Thursday night game on Dec. 22. Eleven games will be on Dec. 24, including a night game on NFL Network. After the Christmas tripleheader, the week will close with a Monday night contest on Dec. 26.
