The New York Giants will face the Philadelphia Eagles on Christmas Day this season, which is not being well received by fans of Big Blue.
Last season, the Giants played on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and New Year’s Day.

Giant fans are tired of being beaten up upon on national television, especially at the hands of two of their most hated rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys.
The Giants played Dallas twice on national television last season and lost both games. Their one national game against Philadelphia last year was a 38-7 whitewash in the NFC Divisional Playoffs.
In fact, the Giants have won just one of their last 12 meetings against the Cowboys and three of their last 19 versus the Eagles.
In night games last year, the Giants were 1-2 and 2-3 in the late TV window (4:00-4:30 p.m.). They won their International game in London against Green Bay, which was technically a primetime game but played in the early morning back in the States.
Since 2020, the Giants are 1-9 at night and 3-8 in late afternoon games (including playoffs).
Of course, the Giants haven’t fared well overall in recent years but they’ve been a competitive team in the Sunday 1:00 p.m. ET window since 2020, compiling a 15-14-1 record.
