On Wednesday, Netflix streamed a pair of NFL games, for the first time ever. It was part of the league’s ongoing effort to steal Christmas from the NBA. It was successful, relative to the lack of complaints regarding buffering, outages, and blurred images.

The NFL will embark on a new Christmas Day tradition starting this year. Christmas Day games have been played in the past throughout the NFL, but only on special occasions.  That changes Wednesday, as the league will play Christmas Day games in the middle of the week for the first time.

CM Punk and Liv Morgan made media rounds on Christmas. On January 6, WWE Raw will premiere on the Netflix streaming platform. Before the company makes that official move, though, former WWE Champion CM Punk and WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan appeared on Netflix in another form.

The streaming giant is moving deeper into live programming but faces questions about its ability to host real-time events without a hitch.

Beyoncé provided more excitement than either game during Netflix’s NFL debut on Christmas Day. Riding into her halftime appearance on a white horse, the 32-time Grammy winner rocked her hometown Houston crowd with a nearly 13-minute performance on Wednesday.

Netflix will have one of its biggest days since the site launched in 1998 when it carries two NFL games for the first time on Christmas.

Performing cuts from her smash “Cowboy Carter” album, Beyoncé doubled down on her country aesthetic, joined by Post Malone, daughter Blue Ivy and others.

Baltimore’s 31-2 rout of Houston on Wednesday capped a sweep of a grueling stretch of three games in 11 days. Baltimore looked like a Super Bowl contender while handling the Giants, Steelers and Texans. A win next week would give the Ravens the AFC North title — and a third MVP award for Jackson seems to be very much in play.
