Trubisky has struggled this season, following a trip to the playoffs in 2018 and his future in Chicago is being questioned. Smith has become one of the NFL’s top linebackers and can often be found in the opposing team’s backfield harass- ing quarterbacks. This could be a key game for the Cowboys concerning their playoff aspirations. 8 p.m. on ABC A Charlie Brown Christmas When Charlie Brown complains about the materialism he sees during the holidays, Lucy suggests he direct the Christmas pageant. He accepts, but it proves to be a frustrating struggle. After his attempt to restore the proper spirit with a forlorn little fir tree fails, he needs Linus’ help to learn the real meaning of Christmas. The animated classic’s memorable music score is by Vince Guaraldi. This digitally remastered en- core of the award-winning 1965 special also includes “Charlie Brown’s Christ- mas Tales,” another special based on the works of Charles M. Schulz. 8 p.m. on NBC Saturday Night Live Who needs a visit from the Ghost of Christmas Past when we’ve got this year’s edition of a perennial program- ming favorite: a two-hour special made up of yuletide-themed music and com- edy sketches culled from the nearly half-century of “Saturday Night Live” ep- isodes.
