The Pittsburgh Steelers are scheduled to play on Christmas for the second straight year, and at least one of their players is not happy about it.
Cam Heyward saw his team’s schedule for the 2017 season and grumbled about the Steelers playing on Christmas again:

The Steelers were one of four teams to play on Christmas in 2016. Most of the teams played on Saturday in Week 16 last season, with the customary Thursday and Monday night games taking place as well. Pittsburgh hosted Baltimore on the holiday, while the Broncos visited the Chiefs on Christmas.
This year the Steelers are set to play on Monday night at Houston. They once again will be one of the only four teams to play on the holiday, as the Raiders visit Philly later in the evening.
