"More Then Game, It's Every Fan's Right, That's Why We're Waitin' All Days For Sunday Night"
The final in a series of Faith Hill's annual high-profile openings, this 2:00 extravaganza features Faith in concert with a cavalcade of NFL's finest players, each with a signature "tunnel-to-stage" journey
The 2-month editorial process was comprised of 2 weeks of board-o-matic / pre-visualization, 3 days of on-set editorial in Los Angeles and New York, and several weeks of storytelling and archival / highlight player footage editorial for the game screens that was designed to be updatable throughout the football season. Keep in mind that only the physical stage, and some locker room items are practical elements. Everything else (98.5%) was shot green screen and composited into computer-generated environments.
NBC Sunday Night Football (abbreviated as SNF) is a weekly television broadcast of National Football League (NFL) games on NBC in the United States. It began airing on August 6, 2006 with the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game, which opened that year's preseason. NBC took over the rights to the Sunday prime time game telecasts from ESPN, which carried the broadcasts from 1987 to 2005 (concurrently with NBC assuming the rights to Sunday evening regular-season games, ESPN took over the broadcast rights to Monday Night Football from sister network ABC beginning with the 2006 season). Previously, NBC had aired American Football League (AFL), and later American Football Conference (AFC), games from 1965 until 1998, when CBS took over those rights.
During the 2011–12 season, Sunday Night Football became the first sports program to hold the position as Nielsen's most-watched program on U.S. network television during the year, beating American Idol, which held that honor for eight consecutive seasons beginning in 2004; Sunday Night Football repeated this feat three years running, beginning with the 2013–14 season.
As of 2020, Al Michaels serves as the play-by-play announcer for the broadcasts, with Cris Collinsworth as the color commentator and Michele Tafoya as the sideline reporter. Upon NBC's assumption of the Sunday prime time game rights, Fred Gaudelli and Drew Esocoff, who serve as the respective lead producer and director, joined SNF in the same positions they held during the latter portion of the ABC era of Monday Night Football. John Madden, the color commentator for the first three years of the program, retired prior to the 2009 season; he was succeeded in that role by Collinsworth.
Since 2014, sister cable channel Universo has carried Spanish-language simulcasts of select games, after years of aborted attempts to simulcast the games on Telemundo; as with the NFL's other television partners, NBC provides Spanish-language audio feed of the game broadcasts via second audio program (SAP), formerly noted as being "provided by Telemundo” before the rebranding of that entity's sports division to Telemundo Deportes. With the former mun2's relaunch on February 1, 2015, Universo simulcast Super Bowl XLIX with NBC, with the channel carrying Spanish-language simulcasts of NFL games and NBC Sports properties (it began to carry the full season with the start of the 2020 season).
