Sports Desk

The Kansas City Chiefs locked up the AFC top seed and the Baltimore Ravens crushed the Houston Texans as two of the NFL’s biggest names starred on Christmas Day.
Patrick Mahomes threw three touchdown passes as the Chiefs beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 29-10 to ensure they have a first-round bye and home advantage in the play-offs as they look to win a historic third straight Super Bowl.
Lamar Jackson then further pressed his claims to win a second consecutive MVP award and third overall with another all-action display in Baltimore’s emphatic 31-2 victory in Houston.
Jackson threw two touchdown passes and ran in one himself as he broke Michael Vick’s NFL quarterback rushing record on a night of headline performances on and off the pitch.
Beyonce performed a half-time show in Houston to rival those usually seen at the Super Bowl, featuring a Post Malone cameo and ending with her hit Texas Hold ‘Em.
It was all part of the big show element, marking the NFL’s first year of Christmas Day games being streamed globally on Netflix.
Hence why two of the best teams and two of the biggest NFL stars were chosen – and they responded in style.
