As for Nickelodeon, it's only via the NFL app, and has a Spongebob pregame show and different announcers.

Yes, assuming you mean CBS post the Pat Summeral era, when they did the NFC and NBC the AFC, there are a handful of games in the past couple years under the latest TV deal that Fox did AFC and CBS did NFC. Games that shift into Sunday night have something to do with it, as that leaves CBS or Fox short a game here for their allotment and there as I think the reason. But that was regular season.
This time, it may be because of the Nickelodeon thing (CBS owns Nickelodeon) and the early start time so kids can watch with their parents.
Or because of the way Covid messed with the regular season schedule, who knows.
