Dec. 27 (UPI) -- Netflix's Christmas football games scored record-breaking viewership.

According to the streamer, over 24 million people tuned in for both the 1 p.m. match-up between the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers, as well as the 4:30 p.m. game between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans.

"Ravens-Texans and Chiefs-Steelers are the two most streamed NFL games in US history," Netflix shared in a social media post.
