After signing a three-year deal with the league to host two Christmas Day games in 2024 and one game per holiday over the next three years, Netflix is now officially an NFL streaming giant.
According to Front Office Sports, Robert Griffin III will join NFL Network analyst and former Notre Dame star Manti Te’o, ESPN analyst Mina Kimes, and former Saints quarterback Drew Brees as analysts for pre-and post-game shows during the Christmas Day doubleheader. They will handle the pre-game and post-game analysis and downtime between the two games.
Kay Adams, host of FanDuel’s Up & Adams, is expected to lead studio coverage from a set in Los Angeles.

Griffin, who ESPN laid off in a cost-cutting move in August, spent three years with the Ravens, playing in 14 games, logging 288 yards passing, one touchdown, and four interceptions.
Netflix announced the Ravens and Texans will play in a rematch of last season’s AFC divisional round matchup following the Kansas City Chiefs’ massive matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Baltimore defeated Houston twice last season.
The first meeting was a 25-9 Ravens win in the season opener, and the second was a dominant 34-10 win in the AFC Divisional Round game that catapulted Baltimore to the AFC Championship game.
