Game on Christmas Day
#1
Per Schefter the NFL plans on having a game on Christmas Day this year which falls on a Wednesday. You would have to think the 2 teams involved would have their bye week the week before to even make this work.

Maybe they will have a double header the week before on Thursday.

For example 
Steelers vs Bengals 
Eagles vs Cowboys 
Christmas 
Bengals  vs Cowboys

Jessie Bates left the Bengals and that makes me sad!

Sounds like the teams will play on the Saturday before. So essentially a Sunday->Thursday turnaround.

Before it is all said and done, I think Mark Cuban is going to be right in the end.  He may be a little off on the timing, as we are now at the 10 year point, but it is starting to look eerily correct.

It would be sweet if the Bengals had one of the yearly traditions games such as the Xmas game.
