Super Bowl LVIII between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs got off to a fast start.

After receiving the opening kickoff, the 49ers offense marched down the field into Chiefs’ territory. But their promising drive was cut short by a rare and costly fumble from running back Christian McCaffrey.

For fans watching the game on Nickelodeon, the play was accompanied by an astute bit of commentary from Patrick Star of SpongeBob SquarePants fame.
