Nickelodeon Broadcast to Return for NFL Wild-Card Weekend

There will be an NFL wild-card playoff game simulcasted on Nickelodeon this season, CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus told reporters Wednesday.

Last postseason Nickelodeon broadcasted its first NFL wild-card game when the Saints defeated the Bears and it looked significantly different from your typical NFL broadcast.

The commentary, graphics and everything in between were geared towards kids — including the Slime Zone when a player scored a touchdown. The game's typical nuances and game speech were replaced with simple commentary that while spoke about the game also explained how football worked.
