For the second consecutive season, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs will take the field hours after Santa Claus and his reindeer take flight and will be facing a familiar foe.

After the Pittsburgh Steelers signed Russell Wilson, he’ll get another crack at the Chiefs on Christmas Day, 2024.

According to a report from Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report, the Chiefs and Steelers will square off in Pittsburgh on Christmas day.

 

Last season, the Chiefs fell to the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium in the first game of the NFL’s Christmas tripleheader. Meanwhile, Wilson is 1-3 against the Chiefs during the past two seasons when he was the Denver Broncos’ starting quarterback.
