Tony Romo Says He Was Sick During Criticized Bills–Jaguars Broadcast

Attention now turns to his Divisional Round assignment to see if the issues persist.

Overview

  • Romo told SiriusXM’s Adam Schein that he and several CBS crew members were ill during the Wild Card telecast in Jacksonville.
  • The broadcast drew widespread backlash for confusing analysis and odd on-air moments that circulated widely on social media.
  • Media reporter Andrew Marchand questioned Romo’s preparation and referenced his 2023 report of a CBS “intervention” to improve the analyst’s work.
  • Romo said imperfect moments come with live TV and that he will get back to work, while coverage noted sickness may explain only part of the struggles.
  • He is slated to call BillsBroncos in the AFC Divisional Round and the AFC Championship on CBS, with both games seen as tests of whether the problems continue.
