According to Joe Lemire of the Sports Business Journal, "ESPN, Disney and the NFL will again produce an animated alt-cast, this time recreating the Dec. 9 Monday Night Football game between the Bengals and Cowboys in the world of the Simpsons. Bart will side with the Bengals and Homer will join the Cowboys in the virtual action that will be available on ESPN+ and Disney+ in addition to both the standard MNF broadcast and the ManningCast."
The NFL has had some viral moments regarding when it puts its games on networks like Nickelodeon. Now, fans will get the chance to see all their favorite Simpsons characters come to life in what will hopefully not be a painful Cowboys loss.
