The NFL's first-ever Black Friday game will feature a battle of AFC East teams. The New York Jets are hoping QB Aaron Rodgers is the final piece to get them back to the postseason for the first time since 2010.
On the other side, the Miami Dolphins will be looking to make it back-to-back years with a playoff appearance after losing in the wild-card round last season.
Week 16 - Christmas Day
New York Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles

NFL fans will be treated to an NFC East battle on Christmas Day this season. The New York Giants made an improbable run to the divisional round last season but were eliminated by the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles beat the Giants three times last season, including a dominant 38-7 victory in the divisional round.
Assuming both teams play up to their expectations in 2023, this game could be meaningful in the race for the NFC East and the playoffs.
Week 17 - New Year's Eve
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Kansas City Chiefs
- Where:Â Arrowhead Stadium | Kansas City, Missouri
- When: 4:25 p.m. ET on Dec. 31

Week 17 features a rematch of the last two AFC Championship games, with the Cincinnati Bengals traveling to play the Kansas City Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs got the better of Joe Burrow and the Bengals in the AFC Championship Game last season, avenging their loss in the same game the previous season.
However, the Bengals did defeat the Chiefs in Cincinnati last season. This game will feature a budding rivalry and two of the game's best quarterbacks. What more is there to ask for?
