The game begins at 4:30 p.m. ET and will be\u00a0streamed on Netflix, so the 32-time Grammy winner should take the stage around 6 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"style_1y6if9u-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_hkqucxjht\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1858372823162708166&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.si.com%2Fnfl%2Fravens%2Fnews%2Fbaltimore-ravens-houston-texans-christmas-game-adds-beyonce-performance&amp;sessionId=c2cd560c3525025ce6a39c5ef0f15d1dac3e24ec&amp;siteScreenName=RavenCountryFN&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-uw-rm-iframe=\"gn\" data-tweet-id=\"1858372823162708166\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_qhqu1ykpw\">Amazingly, there actually is a bit of history with Beyonc\u00e9 and the Ravens. She was the headliner for Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans, when the Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers to earn their second and most-recent title in franchise history. Is that an omen for what&#8217;s to come? Probably not, but it&#8217;s a fun little trivia answer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_zt6fh6zcl\">Beyonc\u00e9 also performed at Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, where she was a special guest as Coldplay and Bruno Mars headlined the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_8bb5ls0tf\">As for the game itself, it should be a compelling matchup between two AFC teams that entered the season with high expectations, but have shown some serious concerns. For Baltimore, the concerns come from a defense that ranks last in passing yards allowed (though it did show improvement in\u00a0Sunday&#8217;s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers) and the abundance of self-inflicted wounds. For Houston, the concerns come in the fact that the offense hasn&#8217;t taken the next step many expected in C.J. Stroud&#8217;s second season, even with his receivers battling injuries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_f0gabxxcf\">These two teams met twice last season, with Baltimore winning both games at home. First came a 25-9 win in the season opener, then came a 34-10 victory on the AFC Divisional Round. In both cases, the Ravens held Stroud without a passing touchdown to bookend his Offensive Rookie of the Year season on sour notes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_ijzmdsw8f\">There&#8217;s still a few weeks to go before this game, but it should be a good one for the holidays.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beyonc\u00e9 will perform during the Houston Texans &#8211; Baltimore Ravens game live on Netflix on Christmas Day, the NFL has announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2219,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
