Sports commentators and fans appeared to be largely unimpressed with an updated scorebug graphic deployed by Fox to keep track of the score and quarter time for the teams during the Super Bowl.

An updated graphic used during the Super Bowl LIX game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles included graphics for each team on the bottom of the screen with their scores to the left of those images and then the time left in the quarter in the middle. Whichever team had the ball, there would also be a graphic above their team image to show with down it was and how many yards left to the next first.

“KC” was used for the Chiefs and “PHI” was used for the Eagles.

While the update is only an alteration from the previous version, fans were quick to take to social media to express their disappointment. A number of critics included sports broadcasters and commentators, many from the popular Barstool Sports.

“Insane they would drop this scorebug on us in the Super Bowl. Nasty work,” Dan Katz, better known as Big Cat at Barstool Sports, wrote on X.

“What 6 year old did Fox hire to make the scorebug? Maybe the worst of all-time,” sports reporter Jackson Didlake wrote on X.

Super Bowl LIX took place at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans and attracted a number of celebrities and even President Donald Trump, the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl.
