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.
Roger Goodell Finally Breaks His Silence On Accusations That The NFL Refs Are Cheating & Rigging Games For The Kansas City Chiefs

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has addressed the conspiracy theory that the officials have been cheating and rigging games for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Roger Goodell took a series of questions from reporters to start off Super Bowl week in New Orleans, Louisiana. With the Chiefs set to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59, the commissioner was asked about the rapidly growing conspiracy theory that the NFL refs are out to help the Chiefs win games.
Per Blair Kerkhoff of The Kansas City Star, Goodell called the theory “ridiculous”, even comparing it the one that he puts out a script for the entire NFL season.
“It reminds of the script, that I write a script for the entire season.” Goodell said. “It’s a ridiculous theory, for anyone who might take it seriously.”
The Chiefs have benefited from a long list of questionable, game-changing calls throughout the 2024 season. This included questionable unnecessary roughness and roughing the passer penalties against the Houston Texans on Mahomes in the Divisional Round.
Additionally, there was a questionable ruling that Josh Allen’s 4th-and-inches QB sneak in the fourth quarter (with the Buffalo Bills up one point) of the AFC Championship Game was short of the marker.

Roger Goodell Has To Deal With The Conspiracy Theories Unless The NFL Does Something To Fix Officiating
Roger Goodell and the league office have had to deal with accusations that the refs are fixing games for the Chiefs. That’s not going to change as long as Kansas City is still on the right side of most controversial calls, and as long as the NFL continues to do nothing in fixing its officiating or replay review system.
