CBS’s Jim Nantz and Tony Romo suffered a major backlash for their analysis during the Bills vs. Jaguars game. And now, the former quarterback has confessed that health issues prevented him from being his best during the game. Romo has finally revealed the reason for his off-putting analysis of the game amid all the negative responses.

“We had a bunch of guys sick, but we were just grinding through,” said Tony Romo during an interview with SiriusXM’s Adam Schein on Wednesday morning, via Jimmy Traina on X. “But you are not going to miss a playoff day. It’s too much fun. And by the way, we got a few records. It’s been fun watching them and our whole crew, everyone gets so excited about it. It’s fun to watch. It’s always special when you get a bunch of people watching. So, it is a playoff season, so it’s important.”

CBS hired Tony Romo soon after retiring in 2016. He became their lead color analyst for NFL telecasts and has been since. Following his recent activities, the fans were definitely not happy with Jim Nantz and Tony Romo. Romo and Nantz are familiar faces when it comes to NFL analysts, but many believe they have lost their charm in the last few years. And now, during the Wild Card Round game, it took a massive shape.

The former Cowboys quarterback made multiple wrong analysis and it got weirder with each moment. He called Josh Allen’s pass complete even after watching the replay. The referees ruled it incomplete, yet Romo did not change his analysis.

The weirdest of all was yet to come.

“Tony Romo saying that wasn’t a touchdown by Allen because the ref is talking really fast might be the worst logic I’ve ever heard from an announcer,” wrote director of DFS content for Skotastic Greg Ehrenberg on X.

In addition to being vocal, albeit for the wrong reasons, the CBS analyst was also heard making unusual noises during the game.

There was no sugarcoating what he did, and likewise, fans wanted CBS to fire him. Unfortunately, it won’t be possible since he earns $18 million a year as a lead analyst. If he were to be demoted to in-studio, CBS would not be able to pay him that much, since no one receives such a high salary at that level. But his confession about being sick will likely reduce the backlash. However bad it may be, his passion for the game cannot be denied. He was working for CBS Sports’ NFL telecast while being ill.

Amid the backlash and firing claims, another NFL legend and analyst was absolutely loved by the fans.

Tom Brady showcases his skills as an analyst

On one end, wrong analysis and irritating sounds got the CBS analyst in trouble, and on the other end, FOX’s Tom Brady proved why he is the “GOAT” even in analysis. During the NFC Wild Card Round game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles, the camera shifted to NFL on FOX’s studio, where Tom Brady gave everyone a lesson on how to throw the ball when there’s wind. Kevin Burkhardt stood there watching as the seven-time Super Bowl winner gave his masterclass. Even the NFL could not help but share the video.

“Professor Tom Brady teaching how to throw the ball in the wind,” posted NFL on X.

Fans loved the analysis. It just doesn’t talk about the game, but increases the knowledge of the people who are watching it. It was a learning experience for the aspiring quarterbacks.

Along with hundreds of fans, Pizza Hut also commented on the “Professor Brady” post by the NFL.

Brady recently partnered up with Pizza Hut for their new Big New Yorker pizza. Truly, there’s no end to what he can do.

Brady joined the NFL analyst panel much later than Tony Romo, but has a better hang of it. Romo’s recent activities did not sit well with the fans. While CBS won’t fire its lead analyst based on social media, it can certainly affect their ratings. Crucial postseason games will take place over the next few weeks. People are accustomed to hearing Romo and Jim Nantz’s voices. They should try to be more professional and factually correct.
