James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

One of the strangest phenomena during NFL games in London is the lengths broadcasts are going to in order to pretend there are full end zone graphics, when in reality they’re just outlines. This week they’re not even trying anymore -- the Lions just have a big old blob of color in the end zone like something out of Microsoft Paint.
