Fox Sports might have a new score bug debut for Super Bowl 59 between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday.
As they did for the Eagles-Chiefs Super Bowl game two years ago, Fox Sports will broadcast the rematch at the Caesars Superdome this Sunday. Kevin Burkhardt will be on the call with $375 million analyst Tom Brady and sideline reporter Erin Andrews.
On X/Twitter, a photo of what appears to be Fox’s new score bug has leaked ahead of Super Bowl 59. Here’s a comparison of the one they used for Super Bowl 57 with the rumored newbie:
The graphic at the bottom looks somewhat similar to the one used by CBS Sports for NFL games. Have a look below:
Fox Sports also aired Super Bowl 54 between the Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers in Miami five years ago. Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs are 2-0 in big games aired by Fox, so we’ll see if the network proves to be the lucky charm again in Super Bowl 59.
With a victory over Philadelphia, the Chiefs would complete the first-ever Super Bowl three-peat and cement themselves as perhaps the greatest dynasty in NFL history. The New England Patriots won six over an 18-year span, but never did they win three in a row or four in six.
Plenty At Stake For Both Teams In Super Bowl 59
As historically great as the Chiefs have been, this is likely the only chance they’ll ever have at a three-peat. And with Travis Kelce (35), Chris Jones (31 next season) and Joe Thuney (32) getting up there in age, there’s no guarantee that they’ll have this many chances at a Super Bowl again.
The Eagles are in the big dance for the second time in three years, but Saquon Barkley isn’t young for a running back at 28. Brandon Graham, Darius Slay and Lane Johnson are also nearing the end of their careers, so this might be Philly’s best opportunity to win a Super Bowl with this core.
