The NFL only plays games on New Year's Day when it falls on Sunday. Otherwise it defers to the numerous New Year's Day college football bowl games that are traditionally held on that day.
However, when New Year's Day falls on a Sunday, the traditional bowl games are moved to Monday, January 2 (which becomes a Federal holiday), allowing NFL games to be played on the 1st. Football nirvana!
