Football is the sport that keeps on giving with two NFL games slated for Christmas Day, which include start studded performances by Beyoncé, Mariah Carey and Pentatonix, who will sing the national anthem.
Carey is the first of two music stars to play a part in Netflix's broadcast of the NFL Week 17 doubleheader on Christmas. Beyoncé will also perform at halftime during the second game of the day: the Houston Texans' clash with the Baltimore Ravens at home.
