NFL Christmas top viral moments: Packers-Dolphins, Broncos-Rams, Buccaneers-Cardinals
Happy holidays! The NFL has delivered a three-game Christmas Day slate that kicked off on FOX as Aaron Rodgers and the Packers rallied to defeat the Dolphins as Tua Tagovailoa collapsed with three interceptions in the fourth quarter.
Then Russell Wilson and the Broncos head to Los Angeles to take on Baker Mayfield and the Rams, and Tom Brady returns to Arizona — where he has plenty of Super Bowl history — to face the Cardinals.
Here are the top trending moments from a tripleheader of holiday cheer!

Sunny Los Angeles!

Packers' playcalling draws criticism
From head coach Matt LeFleur's insistence on passing the ball instead of relying on his running backs, to defensive miscues under coordinator Joe Barry, to a botched fake punt deep in their own territory, the Packers have draw plenty of criticism in the first half.
