The first NFL Christmas Day games happened in 1971, back when the regular season had only 14 games and ended in mid-December. Two divisional playoff games were staged: Dallas at Minnesota and Miami at Kansas City. Over 33 future Hall of Fame members featured in those matchups. Tom Landry, Bud Grant, Don Shula and Hank Stram were the head coaches for their respective teams.
