Christmas Day just got a little more exciting this year, as Nickelodeon and the NFL are set to broadcast a game on the beloved kids and family channel for the third straight season.
At 4:30PM ET/1:30PM PT, the Los Angeles Rams will face the Denver Broncos at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood for the ultimate holiday matchup that is set to include some slime, snow and of course, football.
That Girl Lay Lay star Gabrielle Nevaeh Green, Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan star Young Dylan, Los Angeles Clippers Radio Voice Noah Eagle, and former Detroit Lions wideout Nate Burleson are set to be part of the broadcast team with a special appearance by Patrick Star reporting live from Bikini Bottom.

Watching an NFL game on Nickelodeon is an experience that allows children to watch an NFL game whether or not they know the sport. For the audience members who are not very familiar with the game of football, Gabrielle Nevaeh Green’s role is to help those out by asking beginner-type questions to her fellow booth partners, Eagle and Burleson.
Green expressed her excitement to be part of this special event by saying, “it’s amazing to be part of something that’s very influential on kids.” Besides being known for her role as Sadie on That Girl Lay Lay, the 17-year-old has a music and stand-up comedy career, as she often performs at the iconic Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena, California.
As for Dylan, the young star first rose to fame when his parents posted a video of him rapping “Don’t” by Bryson Tiller; the former America’s Got Talent phenom is very excited to watch multiple players in this game as well as hoping he lands an interview with one of them after he interviewed 49ers superstar Deebo Samuel last season.
When asked by Celeb Secrets reporter Rob Cao about who he is most excited to watch play, Dylan said, “I’m excited to see Baker Mayfield get on the field as a backup you know hopefully he does really good because his first game he did amazing.”
What if we all hyped our teammates the way Young Dylan hypes Deebo Samuel during this interview.

As for Eagle, he is the son of the great play-by-play announcer Ian Eagle and is following in his father’s footsteps as he has called various college and professional games and is currently the radio voice of the LA Clippers. “Well, first and foremost, the fact that I get to be with these two is already setting it off on the right foot,” said Eagle, expressing his admiration for working with Green and Dylan.

As for the game itself, both of these squads came into the season with high expectations, and unfortunately, neither team has lived up to those expectations, but as Eagle told Celeb Secrets reporter Rob Cao, “it makes this game really interesting because you are really not sure what’s going to happen.”
All in all, this is set to be a very entertaining and upbeat broadcast that will have millions of people smiling and enjoying themselves on Christmas Day.
