How Printed Circuit Boards Brought the Super Bowl to Your Home

The confetti has fallen. The Kansas City Chiefs walked away with Super Bowl LIV rings. Whether or not you felt a particular attachment to either team, you have to admit that the game was thrilling right up to the very end. What you might not realize is that behind the scene, countless printed circuit boards were humming along, ensuring that you got to enjoy every aspect of America’s most-watched sporting event.

Can You Spot the Printed Circuit Boards?

You won’t find any printed circuit boards in the football or the players’ helmets (at least not yet), but printed circuit boards were a part of almost every other aspect of the game.

Did you see those headsets that Andy Reid and Kyle Shanahan wore? Without printed circuit boards, they would have never been able to talk to their coaching staff or their quarterbacks.

Did you enjoy the commenting from Joe Buck on the play-by-play and Troy Aikman with analysis during the game? You wouldn’t have gotten their play-by-play analysis without the printed circuit boards in their microphones.

Same goes for all the amazing graphics that are now an inseparable part of the game, from the first down line to the pop-up player bios. Those are created and broadcast from computers that rely on printed circuit boards to run.

Finally, the cameras that stream all the action into your home and even your television require printed circuit boards!

The Chiefs might have won Super Bowl LIV, but all the printed circuit boards involved did a pretty good job, too!
