NFL fans were treated to a Sunday afternoon playoff thriller between Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars but many were struggling with having to listen to Tony Romo calling it.
Romo has gained notoriety throughout the season for some strange calls in his position as an analyst for CBS but the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback seems to have saved his weirdest for the postseason.
In the first quarter, when the Bills blocked a punt from the Jaguars, Romo let out a weird groan that evolved into an awkwardly long chuckle as he watched the replay.
Then, with 2:40 left on the clock in the first quarter, he let out a cringey maniacal laugh when the Jags managed to clinch a crucial first down.
‘Tony Romo is a complete embarrassment,’ one viewer wrote on X. ‘It’s beyond time for CBS to demote or can him.’
And when he wasn’t letting out performative noises, Romo wasn’t exactly offering cutting-edge insight to his viewers.
Tony Romo once again cringed out the football fans watching Bills vs Jaguars in the playoffs
‘I think whoever wins this game has a chance to go to the Super Bowl,’ Romo said on multiple occasions during the broadcast about the two playoff teams.
Others found his guffawing about Bills quarterback Josh Allen insufferable, too.
‘Tony Romo loves Josh Allen more than his own family,’ one fan wrote on X.
Another said: ‘Tony Romo is so bad now. He just says nonsense like hes making real points.
‘Josh Allen just did the most basic of presnap reads that any QB should be doing and he says that its his playoff experience showing up. Please get that clown out of the booth.’
A different viewer posted: ‘Tony Romo is currently on pace for the worst broadcast performance of all time.’
The game itself ended with the Bills beating the Jaguars 27-24, with Bills quarterback Josh Allen scoring the decisive touchdown for Buffalo to win on the road.
Allen appeared to sustain a minor finger injury during the game, hitting his hand against teammate O’Cyrus Torrence’s helmet.

The quarterback also needed a concussion check when two Jacksonville defenders, Travon Walker and Josh Hines-Allen, fell and landed awkwardly on Allen’s head and neck region.
And to make matters even more concerning, there were fears Allen hyperextended his left knee on a touchdown run in the second quarter.
But more importantly, Allen completed the game. He now needs to rest up for next weekend.
