Fox's Tweaked NFL Scorebug Debuts in Preseason to Mostly Negative Reviews

The update replaces initials with logos, moves timeout markers, adds a small live-stat panel, with Fox yet to outline any next steps.

Overview

  • The revised on-screen graphic appeared during Sunday night's BearsBills preseason telecast on Fox from Soldier Field.
  • Notable changes included team logos in place of abbreviations, timeout dots positioned under the scores, and the removal of colored logo backplates.
  • A compact box-score element showing live player statistics periodically occupied the bottom-right corner of the screen.
  • Social media reaction skewed negative, with many calling it underdesigned and a few viewers labeling it a modest improvement over the Super Bowl version.
  • Fox has not announced whether further revisions are coming before the regular season.
