Whats up with the endzone and side line camera shots?

Has anyone else noticed when they focus in on a player close up on the sidelines or endzone, it has this somewhat CGI looking effect?

Its hard to explain, but to me, the players kinda look like Madden graphics when these shots are taken.

Is it some new camera technology or are my eyes just playing tricks on me?

Your eyes aren't playing tricks, they have a new camera they started using last year. It's a Sony camera usually used for cinema (rather than live events) and has a lens setup for a narrow depth of field (where only the subject is in focus and everything else is blurred).

The cameras are difficult to use in live situations which is why you often see the focus shifting when they switch to it.  It is a cool game-like effect though.

If you want to know more do a search for "NFL Megalodon." That's the name of the camera.
