===2002β2005=== In [[2002 NFL season|2002]], a new bug with more of a horizontal orientation was introduced. The ''CBS Sports'' logo that previously adorned the top of the bug was replaced with the CBS "eye" logo in blue and white. The bug was divided into two rectangles, the left one housing the time and quarter and the right the teams and scores, all in white text on blue. As in years past, the down and distance were contained in a pop-out box, also in the blue and white scheme. In 2002, the graphics package itself remained the same as in 2000 and 2001. However, the look was updated in 2003<ref>{{cite news |last= |first= |date=July 29, 2003|title=CBS Sports Teams With Princeton Video Image for 2003 NFL Season|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/press-releases/2003-07-30/cbs-sports-teams-with-princeton-video-image-for-2003-nfl-season|work=Bloomberg|location= |access-date=}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Sandomir|first=Richard|date=January 29, 2004|title=On-Screen Box or Bar Unavoidably Tells All|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/01/29/sports/tv-sports-on-screen-box-or-bar-unavoidably-tells-all.html|work=The New York Times|location= |access-date=}}</ref> to more closely match the design of the score box. In 2004 and 2005, the top two games each week were presented in high definition. These HD broadcasts used a score box optimized for the 16:9 frame, the first time that a U.S. network had used graphics optimized for high definition. In Week 3 of the 2004 season, CBS unveiled a constant scoring update bar on the bottom of the screen (the first of its kind). This was initially called "Game Trax", and complimented "Stat Trax", unveiled the year before which was the first system to show player statistics updates popping out of the score display after a play (now standard on all networks).
