Touchdowns and green slime are a winning combination.

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.
