This Sunday's Steelers-Titans preseason game will look a little different, thanks to NBC employing a different camera angle.

NBC is using the "High Sky" camera as the primary play-by-play, this Sunday night. The "High Sky" is at the line of scrimmage, about 50 feet above the ground.

This is not the first time of a Titans-Steelers game has been tested for a different camera angle. When the two teams go into the regular season, NBC used SkyCam as the primary camera angle for the broadcast.

Overhead camera angle often gives a better sense of the positioning of the players and what a quarterback can be seen downfield, but some fans prefer the traditional sideline camera, which can give a better sense of how much yardage is gained on the play. Feedback from Sunday night can be used in this game.
