FOX unveiled a new scorebug during Sunday's Super Bowl to show the time remaining and the score of the game.

The scorebug was blocky with KC in white on a red background, and PHI for Philadelphia in white letters on a green background.

CBS Sports commentator Tom Fornelli said, "After giving Tom Brady $375 million, Fox only had $25 left to spend on a scorebug design."
