Fox Honors John Madden With Alternate Week 17 Scoreboard
The NFL held moments of silence in stadiums across the country before kickoff Sunday in honor of Hall of Fame coach and legendary broadcaster John Madden. And the tributes for Madden were extended to the league’s broadcasts.
Fox, the network for which Madden served as an analyst for eight seasons, honored Madden with an alternate scoreboard for its broadcasts. A silhouette of Madden’s face was placed in the top right corner, replacing the usual Fox logo.
Fox announcers also donned jackets honoring Madden during Sunday’s games. Multiple players wore Madden-themed cleats, including Bills wideout Stefon Diggs.
