Why NFL players are lip-synching to a Celine Dion song.

In a new ad celebrating the return of the NFL on ESPN,Celine Dion’s“It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” soundtracks a montage of players and fans looking sad and dejected – but they quickly switch to jubilation as fireworks go off, and scenes of players, coaches and fans going crazy with excitement, on the field and off. That footage is intercut with scenes from ESPN parent company Disney productions likeRemember the Titans, Family Guy andThe Lion King, as well as a number of players singing along with Céline. The players involved include the Titans’Derrick Henry, Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew, Saints defensive end Cam Jordan and the Seahawks’ Shaquem and Shaquill Griffin.
