Nickelodeon’s cartoon ahead of Chiefs-Raiders game pokes fun at KC receiver
The Chiefs’ game against the Raiders on Christmas Day will air on two networks, and one is for the kids.
But while Nickelodeon’s coverage of the game will include a lot of touches that children will love, the network has shown it has an edgy side. Example A: Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson was roasted by a beloved cartoon figure during last year’s Christmas game.
Ahead of this year’s “Nickmas” game, Nickelodeon created an image to promote the coverage and asked people to find all the Easter eggs.
One was obvious to everyone: Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce making a friendship bracelet for girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
But there were some other fun things to note: Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, wearing two Super Bowl championship rings, eluding Raiders star Maxx Crosby; running back Isiah Pacheco intensely tearing through a present and Chris Jones sacking Raiders quarterback Aidan O’Connell.
The most savage image of all is Raiders cornerback Amik Robertson handing Chiefs wide receiver Marquz Valdes-Scantling a package of butter.
Oof.
Here is the image from Nickelodeon.
Nickelodeon also shared a video that will give you an idea of what to expect should you decide to watch their coverage instead of the usual CBS broadcast (on KCTV 5 in Kansas City).
