The NFL is going to London...and to infinity and beyond!
Those streaming the game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Atlanta Falcons have the option of watching the game be played at Wembley Stadium or in Andy's room from "Toy Story."
The matchup between the Jaguars and Falcons is the first of five games this season to be played overseas as part of the NFL International Series. It will be the first game in league history to be played in the setting of a Disney movie for an alternate broadcast called "Toy Story Funday Football."
It will show real-time game action in animated form, with the objective of attracting a younger audience following CBS Sports' collaboration with Nickelodeon on NFL alternate broadcasts. The game will be played on a miniature field set inside the bedroom of Andy -- owner of Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the other toys from the beloved Pixar movie, some of whom will make a cameo during the game.
Players will be recreated in animation using NFL's Next Gen Stats player-tracking data and Beyond Sports. The announcers, scoreboards and other elements will also appear in the "Toy Story" overlay. The halftime show features a performance from "Toy Story 4" motorcycle daredevil Duke Caboom, who is voiced by actor Keanu Reeves.
The 1-2 Jaguars will be the home team as they play in London for the 10th time, having gone 4-5. They'll play a second game in London in Week 5 when they face the Buffalo Bills. The 2-1 Falcons have gone 1-1 in games played in the United Kingdom.
