Touchdowns and green slime are a winning combination.

The NFL is broadcasting Sunday's late afternoon super wild-card round game between the Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints on Nickelodeon in an attempt to win over younger viewers, and it might just be working.

SpongeBob SquarePants is also heavily involved in the broadcast.

Noah Eagle -- the son of CBS commentator Ian Eagle -- ex-NFL wideout Nate Burleson and Nickelodeon stars Gabrielle Nevaeh Green and Lex Lumpkin are calling the game.

The Bears-Saints game also is being shown on CBS for NFL diehards without the added graphics. CBS and Nickelodeon are both under the ViacomCBS umbrella, thus the partnership.
