All we want for Christmas is a Kansas City Chiefs win.
The reigning Super Bowl champions will face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1 p.m. on Christmas Day in a game that will be available exclusively on Netflix.
And on Monday, the broadcast crew was announced.
CBS announcer Ian Eagle will be on play-by-play, and will be joined by analysts Nate Burleson and JJ Watt. On the sidelines, it will be CBS' Melanie Collins and NFL Network's Stacey Dales.
So, DeAndre Hopkins will be reunited with one of his former teammates for this game.
The Chiefs wide receiver played with Watt during his time on the Arizona Cardinals.
Russell Wilson and the Steelers will be a very tough matchup for the Chiefs, who have narrowly won almost of their games this season. And while they have already solidified a spot in the playoffs, seeding isn't guaranteed.
With a 12-1 record, they are currently in first place in the AFC and are on track to get the first-round bye. Plus, the Buffalo Bills' loss to the Los Angeles Rams did help them out a bit.
But there are still four weeks remaining, so let's see what happens.
