The Christmas Day primetime game for the 2025 NFL season will feature the Kansas City Chiefs squaring off against the Denver Broncos. The Broncos will travel to Arrowhead Stadium for their Week 17 game to face fellow AFC West rivals next season.

However, one fan wanted the Christmas Day game to be a rematch of this year's Super Bowl, in which the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Chiefs.

"Should've gave them Philly," one tweeted.
