Screen Pass II: super details
Football season’s over (snif!), but I saw a couple details during the Super Bowl worth mentioning.
Previously, it drove me bonkers how CBS offers no indication of possession once a play is underway (there’s superimposed info on the field before a snap, but that’s it). Well, lookit, now! Okay, it’s a white dot that could be missed, but it’s definitely a start.
Item the second: I know I saw this once or twice during the season, but I think it’s only triggered by exceptionally long (time and distance) drives. But look at this!
Two kinds of arrows which make immediate sense. How many first downs? Oh, four. Which was the longest pla— oh, that second to last one. Which team are we tal— oh, there’s the Colts logo, okay, got it. Please do this sort of thing more, CBS! (Less Phil Simms and we can be best friends!)
