The 2025 NFL playoffs are about to begin as the Houston Texans host the Los Angeles Chargers on CBS and Paramount+!
Today’s game is a battle between two evenly matched teams. The Texans (10-7) finished the season atop the AFC South while the Chargers rode a three-game winning streak to end their 24-25 regular season campaign at 11-6.
If you’re watching today’s matchup with your kids, Nickelodeon is offering an alternate slime-filled telecast featuring SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star. Just like last year, this special presentation will take place in Bikini Bottom and feature enhanced Nick-ified graphics, advanced augmented reality, and appearances by a medley of fan-favorite characters, including Megatron, Optimus Prime, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Chuckie and Tommy from Rugrats.
Here’s how to watch all the fun live online.
