I do like their NFL graphics when I first saw it this morning
They don’t no.
I don’t believe they were ever going to show it here, it was going to be geo-blocked due to the NFL broadcast deal with ESPN.
Amazon only has US rights for their Thursday Night Football package.
Updated BBC Sport graphics with the refreshed blocks have been in use for a few weeks now, with small bits shown during the Women’s Euros, and the full package making its debut with the first episode of Match of the Day this season. Some caps from Saturday night’s (UK time) episode:

Still hate the double watermark:
Fun fact: NBC Sports produces the graphics and production for Amazon’s NFL coverage. It’s a similarity of their coverage over on NBC’s Sunday Night Football.
Al Michaels went from NBC to Amazon
OneSoccer’s coverage of women’s soccer friendly between Australia and Canada at Brisbane yesterday. 10 provided the pictures but OneSoccer provided its own graphics. (OneSoccer is a streaming platform which currently owns broadcast rights to matches involving Canadian national men’s and women’s soccer teams)
Quick sampling of the graphics for Women’s Rugby World Cup 2021 (being played in 2022). Certainly based off the men’s 2019 Cup graphics.
That said, they did end up having to replace the smile logo on the on-field “down and distance” graphic with a more traditional arrow (based on the arrow tip of said logo).
They would have got away with the smile for a pre-season match (which this was), as the NFL doesn’t control presentation and branding for the pre-season - but it seems they clamped down on it for the regular season when the first Amazon TNF game happened in week 2. [Thursday week 1, being kick-off night, is part of the Sunday night package so it was an NBC over-the-air game.]
Yeah, like I said, it has improved over the years from how we see it. Notably, the tackle count in the score bug used to be written (several years ago) how it’d be in French - being displayed as, eg. “1T” (for premier (1er) tacle in French) and so on. Sky then added their own graphics occasionally (after a try, for instance) for the English viewers.
(Example from a highlights package in season 2016: Catalans Dragons V Hull Kingston Rovers, 28.05.16 - YouTube)
They got closer to the Sky graphics in 2017-18-ish, and by now, as you see, it’s practically indistinguishable - but it’s certainly possible that Sky do the graphics remotely now for consistency across Super League.
For what it’s worth, beIN Sports are the host broadcaster for rugby à XIII in France but that doesn’t necessarily mean they produced it, nor would they be throwing any large sum of money at it given the dominance of rugby union in the country.
