While it\u2019s better than what we saw in February\u2019s Super Bowl, it\u2019s still not good. That was the general feeling that football fans had of Fox\u2019s new NFL scorebug, which was unveiled during Sunday night\u2019s game between the Buffalo Bills and Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n
There were three notable changes from the scorebug Fox used for Super Bowl LIX. First, instead of team abbreviations (which, in Sunday\u2019s case, would be BUF and CHI), the team logos were used. Second, instead of putting the team\u2019s time-outs remaining under the logo, those went under the team\u2019s score. Finally, while the team\u2019s colors were used in the background of their logos during Super Bowl LIX, there was no such background on the new one.<\/p>\n

The bad news? Super Bowl LIX\u2019s scorebug was wildly unpopular<\/a>.<\/p>\n So, while the new scorebug was generally seen as an improvement, it wasn\u2019t necessarily seen as good.<\/p>\n FOX scorebug is also throwing up a random box score stat in the corner as well.<\/p>\n Thought this last season too\u2026 what there is of the graphic looks fine, but it also looks like its missing an entire graphic layer somebody accidentally unticked. pic.twitter.com\/n6GXUdhotE<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Sam Monson (@SamMonsonNFL) August 18, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Slight improvment with team logos but still not great<\/p>\n \u2014 Jason Hagholm (@JHagholm1) August 18, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Seems a little weird.
