[Salas, Randy]

The play clock for this weekend's Dolphins-Texans game definitely looked like a network graphic, not a stadium clock.

Yes.  I worked for CBS in Weeks 1, 2, and 3 of this season, and we set up cameras for the clocks on all three games that were used on screen during the game.

CBS still does it.  ESPN still does it.  FOX did it last year when I worked for them.
