I feel like in past years I wanted there to be football on Christmas and there wasn't. Maybe Christmas was on an awkward day like Tuesday or Wednesday, which didn't used to have many games (until 2020). As usual, Wikipedia can come to my rescue. There have only been 22 games in history, on just 16 Christmases. Two were playoff games in 1971, then there were 20 over 15 Christmases since 1989. So the short answer is, we get games about half of the time, but with multi-year gaps sometimes.
Onto the game itself, New Orleans clinched the NFC South, and Minnesota was eliminated from the playoffs. There are now 12 teams eliminated, and 6 more eliminations to go. Saturday has 3 games, with Las Vegas the only team on the brink of elimination. Tampa could grab a wildcard spot with a win today, and Arizona could get themselves closer but not quite there.
