The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
All the challenges today are actually quite easy. At most, I would expect them to take you about two games to complete. This challenge, besides another, is one of the reasons this will likely take two games. Typically, you will see about a hundred and twenty enemies in a single game of Score Attack. Now, you will likely not be able to kill all of those enemies because, inevitably, some will end up killing themselves. Therefore, a second game will be necessary to make up for those lost kills.

Katanarama - Kill 5 enemies using the Energy Sword in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1500cR
This challenge will require 2X Score Attack. Once you get to the final wave, you will be facing about twenty or so Elites. All of these Elites will be invisible and some will have swords instead of Plasma Rifles. You will need to take out the ones with Swords and then use those swords to rack up five kills. About as easy as it sounds. Now, sometimes there are no Elites with swords, but it seems like there is typically always one in my experience. If you do not hit five in your first game, you can play a second game to finish off the difference, since the challenge is not restricting this to a single game.

Weapon Swap - Earn 10 sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game on Heroic or harder. - 2000cR
So, this is the only challenge today that is restricted to a single game. I do not know why they continue to specify that it must be on Heroic or harder when we cannot actually control that. Now, you will need to die at least once to complete this challenge. While going for head shots you will get a spree every ten kills up to fifty. That will leave you with five sprees. The next spree medal will come at an additional fifty kills. That means that it will be necessary for you to die and then get another fifty kills which will add another five sprees to your total. That should put you at ten sprees and have the challenge completed.

Hyper Lethal Vector - Kill 100 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2000cR
This is another good reason to play 2X Score Attack as you should be able to head shot practically everything in the game. Now, some things will be a pain to headshot, and that is understandable, so you may fall short of a hundred headshot kills in your first game. You can likely just load up another game and get this challenge done via all the Grunts that start every game except Skirmageddon.
