Cowboys vs. Bengals Week 14 MNF to feature ‘Simpsons’ themed alternate broadcast

“Bart Simpson sides with Joe Burrow and the Bengals while Homer aligns with Dak Prescott and the Cowboys,” ESPN said in the release. “For most of the game, Bart and Homer will let their new Bengals and Cowboys teammates manage the action. But the iconic father and son duo won’t sit on the sidelines for the entire game. Each will select key opportunities to play offense and/or defense. Replacing a player and joining his other 10 teammates on the field.”

Similar to other themed broadcasts in recent years, such as the “Toy Story Football Funday” from last season, each Cowboys and Bengals player will appear as a motion-enabled, animated player. Every snap, run, pass, score and more from the real-life game at AT&T Stadium will be shown as it happens.

In addition, Marge and Lisa Simpson will interview players, while Peyton and Eli Manning, along with Stephen A. Smith, will appear in character during the broadcast. Drew Carter, Mina Kimes and Dan Orlovsky will be “animated in the style of the Simpsons” as they call the game.

The traditional Monday Night Football broadcast will be available as always on ESPN, ABC and ESPN Deportes, with the “ManningCast” airing on ESPN2.
