The NFL released its 2025 schedule on May 14, and there were plenty of quirks to tackle on this year's slate. The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills dominate the marquee matchups, while the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles play on nearly every day of the week.

NFL released tripleheader of games scheduled for Thanksgiving and Christmas, with Detroit Lions, Dallas Cowboys and KC Chiefs playing both holidays.

The Vikings and Broncos have each played on Christmas a total of four times. Minnesota is 1–3 in those games and Denver is 2–2. Neither of the two played well during their last Christmas appearance, with the Vikings losing to the Saints 52–33 in 2020 and the Broncos getting crushed by the Rams 51–14 in 2022.
