Nickelodeon took over the NFL and fans just can’t get enough. Twitter is filled with people tweeting pictures from their televisions while SpongeBob and his friends are putting on a show for the ages. It’s a Wild Card Playoff game between Chicago Bears and the New Orleans Saints, but the biggest stars can be excited. (This is very difficult to do with stars like Drew Brees and Khalil Mack on the field.) There was a slime cannon in the end zone and funny filters on the players during the game. Infographics also took on Nick’s flavor, with Alvin and the Chipmunks on board the broadcast as well. It’s just a surreal scene, see some of the fun below:

CBS Sports spoke to Noah Eagle, Nevaeh Green, Lex Lumpkin and Nate Burleson, who are on the call today.
Eagle said: “This is a perfect opportunity to captivate a new audience of sports fans and football fans, while being a family broadcast, so that the family can watch everything as a single unit and have fun. It will be a mix of sports, entertainment, laughter, joy, all of that, and we are expecting a good game too, which does not hurt. “
“We are dividing so that everyone can understand whether you are nine or 32, you can still have fun watching this broadcast,” added Green. “I think adults will also like this, because we are still giving you the information you need during the game. But we are also putting it in a really interesting and unique way,” she said.
“I really hope to be slimmed down in the sense that I will be like a coach where you just don’t see what’s going on … because I take my hair very seriously,” added Eagle.
