Justin Herbert asked Ben Herbert to prevent the NFL’s cameraman from filming the huddle before his pregame speech to the team. Amazon’s camera caught all of Herbert’s speech before Week 16 TNF game.

- Who’s watching the “NFL on Nickelodeon” kids-themed broadcast of Chargers-Texans? Nate Burleson won’t be calling the game with Noah Eagle. Instead. SpongeBob Squarepants and Patrick Star are on the call with him.
The broadcast will have two reporters on the sideline: NFL Slimetime’s Dylan Schefter (daughter of ESPN’s Adam Schefter) and SpongeBob SquarePants character Sandy Cheeks, voiced by Carolyn Lawrence.
Rules and penalties will be explained by Dora The Explorer (voiced by Diana Zermeño).
- This will be the sixth broadcast Nickelodeon will do with CBS, four of them wild-card playoff games and the other two on Christmas in 2022 and 2023.
