NFL fans slam the ‘worst scorebug of all time’ as the Super Bowl 2025 begins between Chiefs and Eagles

By ERIC BLUM

As Harrison Butker completed the kickoff to begin Super Bowl 2025, NFL fans slammed the Fox scorebug that presented the teams in block letters and very little connecting it. 

The Super Bowl is the first time for this scorebug design with fans quickly coming together from both the Chiefs and Eagles fan bases, as well as other teams, to bash the presentation. 

The previous design was presented as one big block as opposed to this design. 

The game clock is in the middle cased in with a black background, while each team’s score is standing alone on either side.

The down and time remaining on the play clock appear above the team on offense’s short abbreviation. 

Each team has their abbreviation in their team colors. The Eagles have a green background with white lettering. The Chiefs have a red background with white lettering, with a yellow border.  

‘This scorebug is yucky,’ one person added.

‘Tonight’s One Big Thing. The scorebug,’ ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt said.

‘Hands down worst scorebug of all time @NFLonFOX,’ an NFL fan said. 

‘@NFLonFOX please change the scorebug this is horrible,’ another football fan stated. 

‘New scorebug is startling how gross it is,’ a fifth fan said. 

‘This scorebug is [puking emoji],’ an NFL fan concluded.

The display graphics also had little substance or background when showing the Eagles’ scoring drive after they went up 7-0 in the first quarter. 

Even with the immediate hatred of the scorebug, Fox has stuck with it throughout the first quarter. 

The network had not put out a notice that a new scorebug was coming, throwing off those watching the game. 

It is unknown if the scorebug will continue into next season’s broadcasts by Fox.
