Rams and Broncos on Christmas Day
The matchup will feature a pair of Super Bowl winning quarterbacks. Wilson will enter his first season with Denver after a decade with Seattle. He won a Super Bowl in the 2013 season with the Seahawks.
Matthew Stafford will enter his second season with Los Angeles after winning his first-ever Lombardi Trophy last season in Super Bowl 56 over the Cincinnati Bengals. He spent the first 12 seasons of his career with the Lions.
Wilson will face Los Angeles for the first time since his trade out of the NFC West this offseason. The Broncos are a team that have been seen to have made major steps this offseason. Many now view them as potential Super Bowl contenders. With them facing the current champions, it should be a fascinating fixture. We'll see how this matchup plays out on Christmas Day.
