This Christmas, the NFL is not just about football; it's also about Beyoncé. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is ready for both. The Ravens are playing the Houston Texans at 4:30 p. m. ET on Christmas Day, while Beyoncé, a Houston native, is performing at halftime at NRG Stadium. It's a unique situation where the game and the performance might steal the show.

Jackson, known for his lively personality, shared his plans on Monday. "I'm going out there to watch her, " he said, smiling at reporters. "It's the first time I'll see Beyoncé perform, and it's happening at our game. That's amazing. Sorry, Coach Harbaugh, I'll be watching from the field. " It's unknown if he's joking or serious, but it adds a fun twist to the game day routine.

The NFL's Christmas doubleheader starts with the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers at 1 p. m. ET. Both games are available on Netflix. While fans are excited about the performances, there's also the thrill of the game. The Ravens-Texans contest promises to be an exciting matchup, but it's clear that Jackson has his eyes on the halftime show.

This situation raises an interesting question: Should athletes prioritize entertainment over strategy during halftime? It's a balance between enjoying the moment and staying focused on the game. For now, fans will have to wait and see if Jackson sticks to his plan and faces any consequences from his coach.
