CBSвЂ™ s new augmented view gave lead analyst Tony Romo more visual support to explain how the defense reacted to the offense, Cohen adds, which previously had been difficult вЂњbecause we couldn't figure out how to capture what the defense was doing at every moment with every player on every play.вЂќ вЂњOur bosses have challenged us every year in the offseason to try to find technologies to help the front bench in the truck tell a better story on what's happening with the defense as it reacts to the offense,вЂќ says Jason Cohen, CBS Sports VP of remote technical operations. The two Steelers receivers on the right flank ran a crossing route and the two Ravens defensive backs covering them -both seemingly frozen by RoethlisbergerвЂ™s pump fake-followed the outside wideout, leaving Johnson a clear course for the ball and the end zone. In this view, BaltimoreвЂ™s defensive confusion becomes clear. On this particular play, however, CBS Sports displayed its RomoVision replay with 11 XвЂ™s and 11 OвЂ™s populating a digital field on the left-hand side of the screen. B ut such lapses and dupes often transpire outside the margins of the TV screen.

In the fourth quarter of the SteelersвЂ™ Week 13 comeback win over the Ravens, Ben Roethlisberger took a first down snap in Baltimore territory, deked a handoff to Najee Harris, pump faked to the right side of the field and then delivered a 29-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Diontae Johnson running a pattern over the middle.ДЄny time a player is left that uncovered, there inevitably is a breakdown in coverage.
