awards), this marked the first live sporting event to ever be televised by Nickelodeon. McManus explained that the production planned to "respect the integrity of the game", but that there would be features "to make it look and feel very, very different than a CBS broadcast, which it should. I think it's really going to be fun." Coordinating producer Shawn Robbins described the broadcast as being a "Nick-ified", "co-viewing" experience for parents and children, and that it would still "look somewhat the same", as they did not want to "mess with your football and put stuff on if that's going to take away from the viewing experience."

Following the success of the 2021 Wild Card game, the NFL extended its partnership with Nickelodeon by allowing them rights to another Wild Card game in January 2022, with Eagle, Burleson, and Green returning to call the game, plus a weekly highlights show hosted by Burleson with Tyler Perry's Young Dylan star Dylan Gilmer, who would replace Lumpkin as sideline reporter. A regular-season game was added for 2022, in which a game between the Denver
