It has finally happened: Netflix now has live football. Announced earlier this year, Christmas Day marks the beginning of the NFL's expansion onto the popular streaming service, with two games on tap for this year: the Chiefs and Steelers in the opener at 1 p.m. ET, followed by the Ravens and Texans in the day's second game at 4:30 p.m. ET.

The NFL has scheduled a pair of AFC showdowns for Christmas Day, both of which will be streaming exclusively on Netflix. In the first game the Kansas City Chiefs will try and lock down the top spot in the AFC when they travel east to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers.
