NFL players don't get much of a break over Christmas.
In fact, for many teams, the fight for a play-off means competition is at it's most fierce.
Aside from the Dallas Cowboys, Seattle Seahawks, New England Patriots and Oakland Raiders, who have already qualified for the post-season, there are many teams still with a chance of playing meaningful games in January.
As the game continues to grow in the UK, more organisations are experiencing playing abroad, at venues such as Wembley and Twickenham, as well as the Azteca Stadium in Mexico, where the Raiders and Houston Texans played back in November.
Some of those players who came over to London this season have sent over their Christmas holiday messages, including quarterbacks Andrew Luck and Kirk Cousins.
We also have messages from Menelik Watson and Jay Ajayi, who were both born in the UK. To see all of the messages, click the link above.
Sky Sports is your home of NFL this Christmas, with seven live games from week 16. Join Dara, Neil and Jeff for live coverage of a Christmas eve triple header, from 5:30pm on Sky Sports 1.
