Amid reports of an <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2022-nfl-schedule-christmas-day-tripleheader-expected-to-happen-for-first-time-in-league-history/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expected triple-header</a></span> set for Dec. 25, <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-2022-schedule-release-cbs-reveals-champion-rams-will-host-russell-wilson-broncos-on-christmas-day/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CBS announced Tuesday</a></span> that the defending <a href="/nfl/superbowl/" data-is-autolink="true">Super Bowl</a> champion <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/LAR/los-angeles-rams/">Rams</a> will play host to the Russell Wilson-led <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/DEN/denver-broncos/">Broncos</a> at 4:30 p.m. ET on Christmas, with CBS, Nickelodeon and <a href="https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/nfl-on-cbs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paramount+</a> broadcasting the holiday special.<br>But what about the other two games expected to fall on Christmas Day, rounding out the <a href="/nfl" data-is-autolink="true">NFL</a>'s first-ever three-game slate for Dec. 25? Here's our Christmas wish list for the other matchups, plus some honorable mentions:<br>Call it a belated 15-year anniversary of their 2006 Christmas Day classic, when Jeff Garcia led the Eagles to a playoff-clinching upset over the touchdown-favorite Cowboys in Dallas -- a win capped by Brian Westbrook's famous decision to give up a touchdown run to run out the clock. The 2022 versions of these teams should bring even more juice, with Mike McCarthy potentially coaching for his job and the Jalen Hurts-led Eagles restocked with talent on both sides of the ball. A late-season NFC East battle in potentially snowy Philadelphia? It's the perfect setup for a day full of gifts.<br>This one's gotta happen for a few reasons: No. 1, it may well be a preview of the NFC Championship, featuring two of the NFC's best teams and ageless quarterbacks; No. 2, it's got a picturesque locale for Christmas night in snowy Lambeau Field; No. 3, it's guaranteed to put Christmas colors (red and green) in prime time. What else needs to be said besides <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/playerpage/419780/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> versus <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/playerpage/187741/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a>, really? Everyone would tune in for this big-play send-off, with both teams potentially vying for top seeding in the playoffs.<br><em>The full 2022 <a href="/nfl/schedules" data-is-autolink="true">NFL schedule</a> will be released on Thursday, May 12, at 8 p.m. ET on NFL Network, NFL.com and the NFL app. NFL GameDay View: Schedule Release will stream that night at 8 p.m. ET on <a href="https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/nfl-on-cbs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paramount+</a>, NFL.com, the NFL app, YouTube and the NFL Channel.</em><br>© 2004-2022 CBS Interactive.
