The Broncos and Patriots sure had some tough weather conditions…

Football fans had the same complaint about the CBS Sports broadcast of the New England Patriots-Denver Broncos AFC Championship Game on Sunday.

CBS Sports wrapped up its coverage of the 2025 NFL season with the AFC Championship Game. Jim Nantz and Tony Romo were on the call for Sunday’s defensive slugfest, a 10-7 victory.

CBS, however, left many fans frustrated with its use of graphics during the big game in Mile High City. For starters, multiple CBS affiliates posted a giant graphic at the bottom of the screen about school closures:


“@NFLonCBS please remove the school closing ticker on the bottom of the screen @CBS,” said a user.

Fans were also unhappy with the graphics and lighting CBS used when the snow filled up the football field:

“The digital lines CBS projects onto the field to help viewers see through the snow not only spoil the aesthetic appeal of snowy football games; they also make everything blurrier and the game harder to watch,” a fan said.


“CBS sports graphics department has to chill with the numbers and lines,” a user said.

“CBS needs to dial it back on these yard line graphics. It looks ridiculous and the players keep vanishing like the ghost that chases Super Mario around,” said another.

“CBS’ superimposed cartoonishly-large lines and numbers are not helping,” a fan commented.


“Please turn off the highlighted yard lines. It interferes with seeing the game. We want to see plays not yard line graphics. Show them on replay if you must,” wrote a user.

NBC Sports will air Super Bowl 60 at Levi’s Stadium in two weeks. As such, CBS Sports’ NFL coverage is over until September, when the 2026 regular season kicks off.
