What about possession of the ball? Only Fox seems to show this with a dot next to a teams score. I often glance at the score box when busy, but have wait to see which team takes possession to know the current state of the game before I can continue my busy work away from the TV.

From the article:

> Amid its grandeur, NBC also maintains touches of subtlety—such as the tiny possession indicator above each team’s score

In later CBS screenshots, you can see it indicated sometimes. When it shows "3rd & 7", that box will be filled with the team color of the team in possession. It's not a permanent box, though.
