<h3 class="css-1atbt2x" data-sel="heading"><strong>Chiefs vs. Steelers On-Air Commentators</strong></h3>
<p>The Kansas City Chiefs take on the Pittsburgh Steelers live on Netflix at 1 p.m. ET. Pregame commentators will return at halftime. During the game, on-air talent includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ian Eagle, play-by-play announcer at CBS Sports</li>
<li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/nateburleson/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nate Burleson</a>, former NFL wide receiver and analyst on The NFL Today and CBS Mornings co-host</li>
<li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/jjwatt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">JJ Watt</a>, former NFL defensive end and CBS sports analyst</li>
</ul>
<p>Eagle will be the play-by-play commentator during the game, while Burleson and Watt will provide color commentary.</p>
<p>“There are two phenomenal matchups,” Watt tells Tudum. “The Chiefs and Steelers are both near the top of the AFC — [it will be] an old school battle, hopefully with a bit of snow. Just a perfect Christmas Day game.”</p>
<p>Reporting from the sidelines are CBS Sports sideline reporter <a href="https://www.instagram.com/melanie_collins/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Melanie Collins</a> and NFL Network senior national reporter <a href="https://stacey%20dales/">Stacey Dales</a>.</p>
<h3 class="css-1atbt2x" data-sel="heading"><strong>Ravens vs. Texans On-Air Commentators</strong></h3>
<p>From the NRG Stadium in Houston, the Baltimore Ravens go head-to-head with the Houston Texans live on Netflix 4:30 p.m. ET. On-air talent includes:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/noaheagle15/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Noah Eagle</a>, play-by-play announcer at NBC Sports</li>

</ul>
<p>Eagle and Olsen will be the play-by-play commentators during the game, while Erdahl and Wyche will be reporting from the sidelines. Beyoncé will be the halftime performer in Houston at NRG Stadium — but Eagle tells Tudum there’s more than just an epic halftime show to look forward to — especially if you’re a fan of subplots.</p>
<p>“Aside from Beyonce, this is an outstanding quarterback matchup,” Eagle says. One of the rising stars of the NFL in CJ Stroud [of the Houston Texans] is going up against the reigning MVP in Lamar Jackson [of the Baltimore Ravens]. This time of year is when the stars tend to rise to the occasion. Now they get to do it for a global audience, which makes it all the more special.”</p>
<p>Additional NFL Christmas Gameday talent includes Ian Rapoport of NFL Network and Insider reporting breaking news, and former NFL official Gene Steratore as a rules analyst across both games.</p>
