Hello: I have an iPhone se, the first edition. When I ask siri for a score of a game, it tells me to check on the web, but never goes there. Before going to 14.0, I didn't have this problem. I have backed everything up. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I've been having problems with Siri not answering basic questions like what's the time or weather.

I also have been having this problem and you can find discussions on the web about it as well. Thankfully, it is not a change that Apple made. I contacted Apple and they are aware of the problem and they are working on fixing it so Siri once again provides sports scores and stats and doesn't just tell you here is what it found on websites.

I don't think that this has anything to do with what version of iOS you're running since I am having the same issue on devices running iOS 13.7, as well as an old device running iOS 12.4.8.
Siri no longer provides any sports scores, live score updates, schedule updates, standings, list of players on a roster...
I used to be able to get all of this information up until just a few days ago. I believe up until Week 4 of the NFL season, I wasn't encountering this issue. However, ever since late last week, I have not been able to get Siri to provide any of this information. Quite frustrating actually.

Yesterday, as well as contacting Applevis, I sent Apple feedback.
My thinking is, that if they know about this, did they let beta testers know about this, or was it just shelved, as something that was not as high priority, as other things? Just a question. Thanks.

Again, this is a bug, not something that they planned or shelved. They did not say why the bug came up or what caused it but it is a bug that they are working on. It is not related to any update of iOS or anything like that. And, it doesn't matter whether you are on iOS 13 or iOS 14. Everyone is experiencing it.

This issue now seems to have been resolved. At least when it comes to NFL related information. I am able to get information about scores, schedules, rosters, etc. again.

It does appear that somethings are fixed but it is definitely not completely resolved even for the NFL. For example, if you ask about the NFL game tonight Such as what time is the Buffalo Bills game, you still don't get a good response. If you ask about some games this past week such as what was the score of the New Orleans Saints game yesterday, it appears to be working but with other games such as asking what was the score of this last Chicago Bears game it is not working. This is true for both baseball and football where you can get a proper response for some games but not other games

Hello Samuel:
I tried asking when the Seattle Seahawks game is, and I received the same result ... check it out.

Yes, you guys are correct. On further checking, it does seem like its not resolved all the way. Its reporting certain bits of information, but not everything that it has done before.
