List of National Football League Christmas games broadcasters The following is a list of the television network s and announcers to have broadcast the rare occasions in which National Football League games have been played on Christmas Day . Christmas Eve games . There have also been several games played on Christmas Eve over the years , the most famous of these being an in which culminated in a play immortalized as " Ghost to the Post " . The " Ghost to the Post " game was broadcast on NBC with Curt Gowdy and John Brodie on the call . These games have typically been played early in the afternoon out of deference to the holiday . If Christmas Day falls on a Sunday ( most recently in ) , then most of the weekend ' s NFL games will be on the afternoon of Christmas Eve , except for a few games played on Thursday , Sunday , or Monday night in the league ' s regular prime - time TV packages . ( ( In 2005 Christmas fall on a Sunday and all Sunday afternoon games played on Christmas Eve in 2005 . ) ) The 2004 season featured a Christmas Eve matchup on Friday afternoon , one of the rare instances when the league has played on Friday . The game ( Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings for the NFC North title ) aired on Fox with Joe Buck , Troy Aikman and Cris Collinsworth on the call ; Green Bay defeated Minnesota by a score of 34 – 31 . Prior to that , the last Christmas Eve Friday game was played in 1999 when the New Orleans Saints defeated the Dallas Cowboys on Fox with Pat Summerall and John Madden on the call . 2006 saw Christmas Eve land on a Sunday . While the regular NFL schedule of games for Sunday was played , no Sunday night game was scheduled . Instead , two games were played on Christmas Day . NBC , who was under contract to air the Sunday night game , aired the first Christmas Day game pitting the Philadelphia Eagles against the Dallas Cowboys at Texas Stadium , with a 5 : 00 p . m . Eastern kickoff . ESPN followed at 8 : 30 p . m . with the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins on " Monday Night Football " . In 2007 , Christmas Eve landed on a Monday . This proved especially problematic ; the league ' s television contract with ESPN requires the league to provide 17 " Monday Night Football " games over the course of the first 16 weeks of the season ( the league no longer schedules a Monday night game for the final weekend of the season , for multiple reasons ) . In seasons past , the league compensated for an instance like this by giving ESPN or ABC an extra Saturday or Thursday night game later in the season , but this was no longer possible because the new television contract gave the rights to those games to NFL Network . Thus , with the league already stretching its limits by placing a Monday night doubleheader on opening weekend , this meant that every available Monday night would have to air at least one game , even if it were Christmas Eve . To ease the issue , the game was scheduled between two West Coast teams , the Denver Broncos at the San Diego Chargers , so that the game could start at 5 : 00 p . m . local time .

Doomsday Defense The Doomsday Defense was the nickname given to the famous defense of the Dallas Cowboys American football team during the dynasty years of the late 1960s - 1970s . This defense was the backbone of the Cowboys ' dynasty , which won two Super Bowls ( VI , XII ) and played in three more ( V , X and XIII ) . The Doomsday Defense is often recognized as having two different " generations , " but there is no universally agreed - upon definition of exactly when those defenses existed or who their members were , which is why different listings of players and time periods exist . The original " Doomsday Defense " can generally be identified as the Cowboys ' defenses from 1966 to 1975 . " Doomsday II " had its heyday from approximately 1976 to 1982 . Many Cowboy fans recognize the defense from 1992 - 1996 as " Doomsday III " , though to a lesser extent .

The first defensive player to be named Most Valuable Player of the Super Bowl was linebacker Chuck Howley ( V ) . Later linemen Harvey Martin and Randy White became the first ( and only ) teammates ( co - MVPs ) to win the award ( XII ) . Lineup . " Doomsday " .
