That is not entirely true. Many NFL broadcasts use a digital clock from a graphic. They are not always showing the clock or a camera of the clock. Also I know this can vary from one stadium to another. I know ESPN uses the graphic clock and not a video of the stadium clock.

Maybe you need to write the NFL a letter. It seems like only then you will be satisfied. BTW, the Cowboys won the game. And for me the Bears lost the game, so I am happy.
