NBC Sports will surround Super Bowl week with its most comprehensive consumer engagement campaign ever to promote the network's coverage of Super Bowl LII between the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots on Sunday, Feb. 4 (6:30 p.m. ET from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis). NBC Sports Group is teaming up with popular digital show "Hot Ones," featuring Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller, a special Super Bowl edition of Buzzfeed's hit series "Worth It," and "way-too-early" Super Bowl predictions from athletes including Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Miller will put his taste buds to the test in a Super Bowl-centric interview of "Hot Ones," where host Sean Evans interviews celebrities over a platter of increasingly spicy chicken wings. The exclusive content will run this Thursday, Feb. 1, at 11 a.m. on the
First We Feast YouTube Channel. A portion will air during NBC's pre-game coverage of Super Bowl LII.
