Week 16 NFL action continues on Saturday with two thrilling Christmas Day matchups!
Kicking things off, Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers snagged their 12th win of the year after dropping the Cleveland Browns 24-22, as Baker Mayfield recorded his first career four-interception game.
Closing out Saturday's action, the Indianapolis Colts will line it up with the Arizona Cardinals in the desert (8:15 p.m. ET, NFL Network).
Here are the top plays from Christmas Day.
Green Bay Packers 24, Cleveland Browns 22
FIRST QUARTER
Cleveland was the first to strike at Lambeau Field, with Nick Chubb getting into the end zone on first-and-goal. The Browns missed the extra point and settled for an early 6-0 lead.
After Cleveland forced Green Bay to punt, Mayfield gave it right back to the Packers on an interception by Darnell Savage.
On Green Bay's ensuing drive, Rodgers officially passed Brett Favre for most TD passes in Packers history.
He did it with 193 fewer interceptions than Favre.
And the Packers legend and Hall of Famer had a few words for Rodgers after his history-making drive.
On Cleveland's following drive, Chubb continued to dominate, exploding for 27 yards to push the Browns downfield.
The Browns' drive was stopped short just shy of the red zone when Mayfield tossed his second INT of the half.
Then, Allen Lazard gifted us all with an unreal one-handed catch on the last play of the opening quarter.
SECOND QUARTER
The turnover ended in another Davante Adams TD, as the Packers took a 14-6 lead early in the second.
It was Adams' 66th career TD catch from Rodgers, making the pair the most productive duo in Packers history, surpassing Rodgers and Jordy Nelson (65 TDs).
The Browns were able to keep Green Bay within arm's reach, as Mayfield found a wide-open Harrison Bryant in the end zone. After a failed two-point conversion, it remained a two-point game at 14-12.
Mayfield came up with a big third-down conversion before throwing his third INT of the half, giving the Packers the ball at the two-minute warning.
After the turnover, Green Bay capped off a nine-play, 49-yard drive with another Adams TD to take a 21-12 lead at the break.
THIRD QUARTER
It was more of the same for the Packers to open the second half.
The Browns were able to get something going, too, as Mayfield picked up a huge third down to move the sticks. And after trading field goals in the third, it was a nine-point game headed into the final frame at 24-15 Packers.
FOURTH QUARTER
The Browns pulled within two when Mayfield found Anthony Schwartz in the back of the end zone to make it a one-possession game in Green Bay, 24-22.
But in the end, the Browns weren't able to stage a comeback, as Mayfield was picked off for the fourth time, and things ended there.
Indianapolis Colts at Arizona Cardinals
