Versus | CBS – 2023 AFC Playoffs Quick Facts

VERSUS.

FROM THE CREATOR:

‘Twas the night before Christmas’ was a holiday themed animated segment that longtime partners CBS Sports and Versus created to spotlight the craziness behind this year’s AFC Playoffs race.

To match the wild nature of this crowded race, Versus used a variety of styles: 2D, 3D, mograph, illustration, and collage, leaning heavily into each style where it made the most sense for the story being told.
